Blueberry Rickety Eyeball Punch

• 12 to 24 fresh blueberries
• 12 canned lychees in syrup, drained, plus 5 to 6 tablespoons syrup from the can
• 3 cups blueberry juice cocktail
• 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
• 2 cups sparkling water
• Ice
• 3/4 cup gin, optional

1. Stick 1 to 2 blueberries, depending on their size, into the cavity of each lychee.
2. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and freeze, about 1 hour.
3. (Wait until the "eyeballs" thaw a bit before eating, so that you don't choke on them.)
4. Stir together 5 tablespoons of the lychee syrup, the blueberry juice and lime juice in a bowl or pitcher until combined.
5. Stir in the sparkling water and add the lychee eyeballs.
6. If it is a bit tart for your taste, add the remaining tablespoon syrup.
7. Serve in tall glasses over ice, spooning the lychee eyeballs into the glasses as you pour.
8. For a grown-up twist, stir in the gin before adding the sparkling water.
9. Enjoy!
