Bloody Eye Cocktail - List of Ingredients and Recipe

No party is complete without strong drinks. And the "Bloody Eye" (cocktail) is perfect in order to surprise guests at the holiday. At the same time, it can become an attribute of the decor of the room. It’s also a great alternative to another famous cocktail - “Bloody Mary”.

A bit about cocktail

The Bloody Eye Cocktail is considered the traditional drink for Halloween, or All Saints Day, in the United States and Europe. For its preparation does not require special skills in bartender art. The whole essence of the name is only a very interesting cocktail presentation.

Ingredients for the Bloody Eye Cocktail

To prepare one serving of this interesting drink, you need to take:

• one radish;
• one olive or grape berry;
• a small slice of red pepper;
• 65 milliliters of gin or vodka;
• 25 milliliters of dry gin;
• half a teaspoon of cherry syrup.

The last component can be replaced with the same amount of raspberry liquor.

Cooking order

The Bloody Eye cocktail is made as follows:

1. Radish should be washed well and wiped with a paper towel. Next, you need to cut the ponytails. Then a small knife is taken, and a “eye” frame is made from the vegetable. To do this, the peel is gently cleaned with a knife so that there are pink veins that serve as blood vessels.
2. The middle of the radish is cut out and a grape berry or olive, previously stuffed with pepper, is placed inside.
3. An ice mold is taken, in which the prepared radish is placed and completely filled with water.
4. The form is put in the freezer for twenty minutes.
5. While the "eye" freezes, it is necessary to mix the drink. To do this, pour all the liquid ingredients in the required proportions into one glass.
6. When everything is ready, with the help of the "eye" from the radish should decorate the glass. To do this, the "bloody" decor is taken out of the ice mold and just dipped in a glass with a finished drink.
7. If you have little time and you do not have time to freeze the “eye”, then take a skewer for drinks and prick the stuffed radish on it, then place it in a glass.

Note: the “bloody eye” from radish serves not only as a decoration for a drink, but also as a snack.

Even as a decoration, you can finely grate horseradish on the bottom of the cocktail before you start pouring alcohol.

Alternative drink recipe

There is another way to make a Bloody Eye cocktail. This is exactly what Tom Cruise did in the film of the same name.

To create it, you need to take:

• one yolk;
• 180 milliliters of tomato juice;
• 240 milliliters of light beer.

You can do the opposite and pour more tomato juice, and less beer. Proportions are better for sticking to.

Recipe:

1. Take a tall glass.
2. Break the egg and pour the yolk to the bottom of the glass.
3. Gently pour the tomato juice on top of the yolk.
4. Add light beer.

To drink the cocktail “Bloody Eye” according to this recipe should be through a tube for drinks. It is inserted into the yolk, through which the entire drink must be passed.

Happy holiday!
