You can make a Lychee Martini with vodka, Cointreau, and lychees.
Exotic Flavor – The lychee fruit gives the martini a unique, sweet, and floral taste, often described as a mix of grape, rose, and melon.
Origin – While the classic martini has been around for over a century, the lychee martini likely gained popularity in the late 20th century, particularly in upscale bars and Asian-fusion restaurants.
What You’ll Need:
2 oz vodka
1 oz Cointreau
1.5 oz lychee juice (from canned lychees)
3 lychees (for garnish)
Ice
Procedure:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add vodka, Cointreau, and lychee juice. Shake well until chilled (about 15 seconds).
Strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with lychees on a skewer.
Enjoy your refreshing, tropical Lychee Martini!
