Bryan made one for me the other night, and it's pretty good! Here is the recipe:
1 1/2 oz SOHO brand Lychee Liqueur
1 oz vodka (we use Grey Goose)
Splash of lychee juice (from the can)
2 lychees (from a can)
We typically keep our vodka and the liqueur in the freezer (they stay liquid!) so there's no need to shake the drink in a traditional cocktail shaker.
If you like a bit of tartness in your cocktails, you may want to consider adding a splash of lime juice as well. We didn't have any around, but next time we may try that as well.
We should do a blind taste test on vodkas. I've read conflicting reports as to whether different brands are distinguishable.
ReplyDeleteoh lychee martini's are my absolute favourite (closely followed by apple)
ReplyDeleteif you have them on hand, put a slice of lime as a float on top of the martini, sprinkle some sugar on it and give it a little blowtorch. nice little tangy treat i learnt from a bartender one night.
love your recipes. :)
