Lychee Martini

Chill the Glassware

• Place a martini glass or coupe glass into the freezer for 5 minutes, or fill it with ice and water to chill while you build the drink.

​

Combine the Ingredients

• In a cocktail shaker, add the 2 oz Vodka, 1 oz Lychee Liqueur, 1 oz Lychee syrup (usually poured straight from a can of preserved lychees), and 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice.

​

Shake Vigorously

• Fill the shaker completely with fresh ice. Seal it tightly and shake hard for 12–15 seconds. Shaking with plenty of ice ensures the heavy fruit syrup properly integrates with the alcohol and creates a beautiful, icy froth.

​

Strain and Serve

• Empty the chilling ice from your serving glass. Using a fine strainer to catch any small ice shards, pour the cocktail directly into the chilled glass.

​

 Garnish

 

• Skewer a whole, pitted canned lychee on a cocktail pick and rest it across the rim with a sprig of mint.
