Not all monsters hide under the bed — some come chilled, shaken, and served in a martini glass. Meet the Monster Martini — a bright green, candy-eyed cocktail that’s equal parts creepy and chic. It’s like if Frankenstein discovered happy hour and decided to start an influencer account.
Sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of weird — this one’s made for anyone who likes their Halloween with a side of sass.
💚 What You’ll Need
- 45ml vodka
- 30ml Midori (melon liqueur)
- 15ml lime juice
- 15ml simple syrup (or swap for pineapple juice if you want it sweeter)
- Ice
- Edible candy eyes (you can usually find them in the baking aisle or make your own with icing)
🪄 How to Make It
- Fill a shaker with ice and add vodka, Midori, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Shake it like a monster mash until chilled.
- Strain into a martini glass — the brighter the green, the better.
- Drop in a few edible candy eyes. They’ll float and stare right back at you.
- Snap a photo before they melt — it’s too cute (and creepy) not to.
🕯️ Pro Tip
If you want to level it up, rim the glass with black sugar or dip it in a thin drizzle of chocolate syrup for a Frankenstein vibe. You can even freeze the candy eyes into ice cubes for extra spook factor.
The Monster Martini is flirty, freaky, and fabulously photogenic — a cocktail so fun it might just follow you home. Serve it to your guests, raise a glass, and toast to the monsters that make life interesting.
Cheers, creatures. 💚🍸👀
