The Mad Eye Martini is a fantastic Halloween cocktail with a gruesome eyeball garnish. The drink itself has that beautiful pale blue color, signature of Hpnotiq and the flavor is as pleasant as can be with the lychee accent. Creating the garnish is an art and may take a bit of practice to get the right look, but it's a fun little project to work on and have prepared before your monster mash.

- 1/2 oz Hpnotiq liqueur
- 1 oz super premium vodka
- 2 oz lychee juice

Lychee Eyeball Garnish:
