Shaken not Stirred

A Lychee Martini Recipe

2 oz Lychee Juice, reserved from can

1 1/2 oz Soju

1/2 oz St. Germain

Shake with ice, strain, and serve in a chilled martini glass.

Garnish with a pitted fresh lychee whenever possible.  If none are available, a canned lychee 

will work just fine.

This martini is garnished with a fresh lychee, jackfruit for color, and toddy palm pieces.
The jackfruit and toddy palm are mild and sweet and do not disrupt the soft flavors of the drink.

Above:  A hard red exterior covers the soft white inner flesh.  Lychees possess delicate
floral notes allowing them to pair well with St. Germain, a liqueur made from the essence of elderberry blossoms.

Right:  Soju, a Korean distilled beverage made from rice.  Clear, colorless and somewhat comparable to vodka, but sweeter and less harsh.

Cheers!
