The slightly cloudy Lychee Vodka makes the base for this tropical-looking, easy-to-drink martini. When making the base, reserve enough lychees for garnish if you want, and keep in mind that the longer the vodka mix rests, the better the flavour.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 oz strained, lychee vodka
  • 1/4 oz vermouth
  • 1 strip lime rind
  • 1 splash club soda
  • 1 drained canned lychee, (optional)

Preparation

Fill shaker half full of ice. Add Lychee Vodka, vermouth and lime rind; shake. Strain into martini glass; add soda. Garnish with lychee (if using).

Additional information : Lychee Vodka:
1 can (20 oz/530 mL) whole lychees in syrup
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) vodka

Drain lychees, reserving 2/3 cup (150 mL) liquid. In bowl and using potato masher, coarsely mash lychees; transfer to clean jar. Pour in reserved liquid and vodka; seal and store in cool dark place for 24 hours. (Make-ahead: Store for up to 1 month.)

Makes 3 cups (750 mL).
