Halloween Lychee Eyeballs I
From Goodcocktails.com
Peeled Lychees (fresh or canned)
Green Maraschino Cherries
Raisins
Strawberry Glaze (blood)
Place raisins inside green maraschino cherries. Place cherries inside lychees to form eyeballs.
Note: Use the biggest lychees that you can find and be very careful when inserting the cherries into the lychees. You don't want to rip the lychees apart.
From about.com
1 canned grade AA lychee in syrup, drained
1/4 tsp cherry, strawberry or raspberry preserves
1 blueberry
Dry lychee and fill with preserves

Skewer with cocktail pick (search for picks that look like a miniature ice pick for full affect).

Love the ice cubes. the cookies and eye balls are to weird for me.but I do want to try the cocktails mentioned elswhere.
Next year I'm trying the breadsticks. Mary at the Home is Where the Boat is blog made hers curved so they could hold onto a glass or other fixed item. I can see these wrapped around a cup of blood red tomato soup. Enjoyed the video!
