1 small pimento-stuffed green olive
1 large radish (the olive must be insertable into the radish)
The “eyeballs” should be prepared a day before you plan to use them.
Preparation Of “Eyeballs”
1. Peel radish, leaving thin streaks of red skin on to represent blood vessels.
2. Using the tip of the vegetable peeler or a small knife, carefully scoop out a small hole at the top of the radish, roughly the size of an olive.
3. Stuff a green olive, pimiento side out, in each hole.
4. Place 1 radish eyeball in each section of an empty ice cube tray. Pare the radishes down a bit to fit, if necessary. Fill the tray with water and freeze overnight.
5. Place gin and vermouth in a cocktail shaker with ice.
6. Gently shake and pour, straining the ice, into a martini glass.
7. Garnish with an olive eyeball.
