Lychee Martini
Ingredients
- Chilled ice cubes
- 4 ounces of gin
- 3 ounces of lychee juice from a can or simple syrup, along with 6 canned lychee fruits
- 2 ounces of St-Germain liqueur
- 1 ounce of dry vermouth
Instructions
Step 1
To start making your Lychee Martini, grab a cocktail shaker and fill it about halfway with ice. This will help chill your drink quickly. Next, pour in the gin, lychee juice, St-Germain, and vermouth. Once you’ve added all your ingredients, secure the lid on the shaker tightly. Now, give it a vigorous shake for about 20 seconds; you want to shake until the outside of the shaker feels frosty to the touch. This means your cocktail is getting nicely chilled and mixed!
Step 2
Once you've mixed your delicious lychee martini, it’s time to serve it up! Grab your two chilled martini glasses and hold them at an angle over your mixing glass. Carefully pour the cocktail into each glass, taking care to keep the liquid smooth and steady so you don’t spill any. Next, take your lychees and skewer one onto each cocktail pick. These little gems are not just for looks; they’ll add a lovely touch of sweetness with each sip. Gently place the picks into the glasses, letting the lychees float just above the surface of the drink. Look at that beautiful presentation! Your lychee martinis are ready to impress.

My Tip
For a truly refreshing Lychee Martini, be sure to chill your martini glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving. This little step keeps your cocktail icy cold and enhances the overall experience—nothing beats that frosty touch!
Leftovers
Lychee Martinis are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in a sealed glass container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to enjoy again, give it a quick shake with ice to refresh the flavors before serving—no need to heat this one up!
Make It Your Own
For a delightful twist on your Lychee Martini, try swapping the gin for vodka and adding a splash of fresh lime juice. This brightens up the drink and complements the sweetness of the lychee beautifully!
