  • 5 tbsp syrup from the can of lychees
  • 2 cups Blackcurrant drink
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • ½ cup sparkling water
  • Ice

  2. Stir together 5 tablespoons of the lychee syrup, blueberry juice, and lemon juice in a bowl or pitcher. Stir in the sparkling water. Mix well, and add the eyeballs.
  3. Serve in tall glasses over ice, spooning 2 lychee eyeballs into each glass.

Recipe Notes

Wait until the “eyeballs” thaw a little before eating them so you don’t choke.
