Are You Eyeballing Me?
Want your home bar to host a Gothic black tie event for the ghosts and goblins of Halloween? These ghoulish Gibsons are pretty gruesome looking Martinis and should do a great job grossing out your guests with their gory eyeballs.
A Gibson is a Martini which substitutes a cocktail onion instead of an olive as the garnish. In this case, two onions per drink. Listed below are dry and extra dry recipes from classic gin & vodka Martinis and Thanksgiving Martini cocktails with slightly different portion sizes from each other.

DIY Cocktail Onion Eyeballs
Hollow out a small pocket in each onion and stuff with black olive pieces or caviar to simulate eyeball pupils. Thread them both on a long toothpick or skewer so both eyeballs point in the same direction. Arrange on the bar top so they appear to stare down the party.
