# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Gently insert a fresh blueberry into the cavity of each drained canned lychee to create an 'eyeball.' Refrigerate to chill and enhance the spooky effect.
02 -
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add vodka, reserved lychee syrup, elderflower liqueur, and fresh lime juice. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled and combined.
03 -
Strain the mixture into a pre-chilled martini or coupe glass. Thread the prepared 'eyeballs' onto cocktail picks and place atop the glass rim or drop directly into the drink for an eerie finish.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Pre-chill glassware for at least 10 minutes to keep the cocktail colder longer.
02 -
Use a quality vodka to preserve delicate lychee and elderflower flavors.
03 -
Handle lychees gently to prevent tearing when inserting blueberries.
04 -
Adjust sweetness by adding more lime juice or diluting with soda water if necessary.
