Tips & Tricks – Halloween Eyeball Martini

• Chill the glass for an extra “chill factor”: Pop your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before making the martini.

• Add a splash of triple sec or orange liqueur for more depth of flavor.

• Freeze the gumballs ahead of time so they stay afloat in the drink. This way, you don’t need a cocktail stick or skewer

Want to Change it Up?

Change up this Eyeball Martini by adding a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice for a citrus kick. For a non-alcoholic option for kids, swap the vodka for cranberry juice and lemon-lime soda.
