Lychee Vodka Recipe - Another Drink to Add to Your Pocket

The Lychee Vodka Martini

There are many variations of the lychee martini, however, I like to keep it simple, and use two main ingredients - organic vodka and lychee juice.

Instead of buying canned lychee, I would suggest getting the actual lychee fruit.

Peel off the shell, remove the flesh of the fruit from the seed, and puree it until the juice is a smooth consistency. You can also add a little bit of lime juice to retain the freshness of the puree.

If, for whatever reason, you can't find organic lychee, I would suggest buying lychee tea from vendors such as Starwest Botanical. Steep the tea for 2-3 hours in boiling water.

Let simmer, and then bring down to room temperature.Steep 4 bags worth of tea in a 32 oz. glass container, which will make several lychee martinis.

If you want to sweeten the mixture, add in a teaspoon of styvia or organic raw honey. Don't over do the sweet factor because it may overwhelm the lychee flavor.

For this lychee vodka recipe, I only used 2 ingredients. But, you can also add in pink lemonade or a dash of cranberry or acai juice for extra flavor.
