Gross eh?!?!?!?! And totally cool!!! Perfect for Halloween! These eyeball martinis will amuse and disgust your guests in equal measure!
These 'eyeballs' are perfect for any drink! Slip them into a classic martini, for a twist on a dirty martini. Skewer them on the edge of your bloody mary. Or if you could just eat them 😉 I decided to float them in my spiced capsicum martini. I love how spooky they look in the red liquid.
I think it adds an extra halloween edge to them. I also floated a spider in them, as I thought it was suitably cool and halloweeny. (So a word!!!!)

This is hardly a recipe really it is stuffing an olive inside an onion! 😉 The only really tricky bit, is getting the middle out of the onion. You have to cut the root end off the onion and then use the wrong end of the spoon to pull out the middle section of the onion. After that is is just squashing an olive into a hole. Easy 😀

Hi Claire! I love what your Mum did for your Dad!!! When my Mom turned 75 I arranged a family dinner at a restaurant and I brought a large sheet cake with 75 candles on it...the kids helped her blow out the candles so she wouldn't faint or catch her hair on fire! 🙂

Hi Claire! Your posts always make me smile (and laugh)! Years agoI bought Gary a huge martini glass (It will hold over a quart of liquid) and I found three olive candles (because he always wants three olives in his martinis), He's never had a martini in it, but it sits on top of our refrigerator to this day! Truth be told, I'm not sure he could finish a martini that big!

I love your stories too Dorothy!!!!
That is the sort of wonderful story that I love!!! For my Dad's 40th, my Mum bought my Dad 40 little presents all wrapped up in a box that looked like a birthday cake!
