Cocktail Hour: Lychee Martini
A lot of the recipes I share here, are born from request of a friend or family member and after grabbing a can of lychees at the H Mart in Lower Manhattan, Lynette was craving a lychee martini so of course I obliged. Dive into the delicious allure of a Lychee Martini, with a tantalizing twist on this classic cocktail. This elegant libation seamlessly blends the delicate sweetness of lychee fruit with the crisp sophistication of vodka, resulting in a drink that is both refreshing and refined. Shake together premium vodka, lychee juice, and a splash of fresh squeezed lemon juice. Strain into a chilled martini glass rinsed with Vermouth and garnish with a plump lychee fruit and a lemon rind for a visually stunning presentation. Sip slowly and savor the luxurious fusion of flavors in every sip of this enchanting concoction. Cheers to the perfect balance of tropical flair and timeless elegance!
