Prep Time 5 minutes
This Halloween martini is a blueberry-based cocktail topped with spooky melon and blueberry eyeballs. It’s naturally gluten-free and dairy-free.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (36 grams) fresh blueberries or 1/2 cup (60 grams) frozen blueberries
  • 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) Chambord
  • 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) vodka
  • 4 teaspoons (20 ml) lime juice
  • 2 to 6 teaspoons (10 to 30 ml) maple syrup or simple syrup
  • honeydew melon + blueberries for eyeballs
  • dry ice optional

Instructions

  • Blend everything but the sweetener in a blender until totally combined.

  • Stir – don't blend – in the sweetener. If using fresh blueberries, you only need 2 teaspoons. If using frozen, you'll need 4 to 6 teaspoons.
    2 to 6 teaspoons (10 to 30 ml) maple syrup
  • Pour into the glass.
  • To make the eyeballs, scoop out balls with a melon scoop. Make an X at the top of the ball and dig a little hole out so that the blueberry has a place to sit. Put two on a cocktail pick to create a set of eyeballs and place on top of the glass.

  • If using dry ice, please read all the safety tips in the post first. Keep the dry ice pieces at least 1-2" in size. Add one to the glass and serve. Let it completely sublimate (turn into gas) before drinking the martini.
