Romantic Cocktails for Two....April Fool!


April Fool!

My 'cocktail' above was made by peeling large radishes, leaving some of the red 'skin' for the veins. Scoop out a hole at the root end with a very small melon ball cutter and insert a pimento-stuffed olive. Freeze the 'eyeballs' in an ice cube tray or, like me, use a mini tart pan filled with water around the radishes. When frozen, float in a 'cocktail' of tomato or V8 juice, vodka optional ;) I found the idea here. These would be fun to make for a Halloween party also!

I hope you enjoyed our April Fools' food fun!

  2. What fun ideas for your April Fool's post! I made those aquariums years ago when my kiddies were young too ;) The cocktail is too funny, I think I would need the vodka in it to down it with those eyes looking at me.

    I never did drink the goldfish. I can't even stand regular fish! :)

    And the Swedish fish in the jello is fabulous. Addi would love that one.

  10. Ohhhh Susan I love both of your April Fools foods!! I hadn't ever seen the eyeballs done like that before. I think they would be great for Halloween too! Cute! I did see the aquarium and debates doing it as well. Imagine how much kids would love this! Did you eat it???? I love blue, but blue food is just unnatural :-) I'll never forget what used to happen to my nephew when he would eat blue cereal.........
