Ingredients
- 14 medium radishes
- 7 pimiento-stuffed olives, halved crosswise
- 16 ounces gin or vodka
- 1 ounce vermouth
Directions
-
Trim stem and root ends of radish.
Use a paring knife to scrape red skin
from radish, leaving just enough to give
a veiny appearance. With a small melon
baller, cut a hole in radish, about 1/2 inch
in diameter. Fit an olive half, cut-side
facing out, into hole. Place radish in
ice-cube tray. Repeat with remaining
radishes. Fill tray with water; freeze. -
Mix vodka or gin with vermouth;
stir with ice. Divide eyeball ice cubes
among four glasses. Strain martini;
pour into glasses, and serve.
These looked terrible- they turned the ice red-purple, they were foggy and hard to see the detail I put into them. I put them out anyway, since it was Halloween, but they weren't appetizing or cute at all. Then I found out they tasted and smelled terrible when melted. I will skip this for sure next year.
I'd use a lychee instead of the radish and put an olive in it. Would look the same and would probably taste much better..

Why couldn't you use a miniature version that tasted like it belonged in the martinis......using pearl onions. I would think you could put a caper in the middle of it and freeze.....or use your imagination!

Maybe add the eyeball ice cubes to bloody marys?
These look great and aren't that difficult to make, but they make the drinks taste terrible, unfortunately.
