Lychee Martini

Vodka shaken ice cold with lychee syrup and fresh lime, with a whole lychee waiting at the bottom of the glass. Floral, barely sweet, and dangerously easy to drink.

The preparation

3 steps, about 5 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    1. Drop the lychee into a chilled coupe or martini glass.

  2. 02

    2. Shake the vodka, lychee syrup, and lime juice with plenty of ice, hard, about 15 seconds, until the tin frosts over.

  3. 03

    3. Double strain into the glass and serve right away.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“No lychee liqueur needed, the syrup in the can is the whole cocktail, so one can gets you the syrup for the drinks and the garnish for every glass. Taste your can first, some run sweeter than others, and a squeeze more lime brings it back in line. The eat-the-lychee-last moment at the bottom of the glass is the best part.”
