Ina Tini Recipes

EYEBALL-TINI

Steps:

• For the cocktail: In a blender, puree the lychees with 1/4 cup of the reserved syrup until smooth. Freeze for about 1 hour to chill.
• For the blood drip glasses: On a plate, mix the corn syrup and food coloring until fully combined. Dip 4 coupe glasses a couple times in the corn syrup mixture, swirling to cover the rims. Turn the glasses right-side up, let the syrup drip down the sides and then set on wax paper to dry, about 5 minutes.
• For the lychee eyeballs: Insert a blueberry into the hole of the 4 reserved lychees.
• Finish the cocktail: Add 3 tablespoons of the chilled lychee puree to each of the blood drip glasses. Fill to the top with ginger beer and a splash of lychee juice. Stir gently.
• Place lychee eyeball into each drink and serve.

GARLIC ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, toss with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.
