Equipment

  • I use a cocktail shaker to mix the drink smoothly.
  • You’ll also need a strainer to avoid any unwelcome fruit chunks.
  • A jigger helps measure the right amount of spirit (because balance matters!).
  • Finally, a martini glass is essential for that classic cocktail look.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for my Lychee Martini Twist:

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz lychee juice canned or fresh works well
  • 0.5 oz triple sec
  • A dash of lime juice for some zing
  • Fresh lychee for garnish

Instructions

Time to make the cocktail!

  • Start by adding vodka, lychee juice, triple sec, and lime juice into the cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Shake it well for about 20-30 seconds. You’ll want the whole mix to chill nicely.
  • Strain the mixture into your martini glass. It helps to keep the drink smooth by removing any ice chips.
  • Now, garnish it with fresh lychee. It’s a simple step that brings both flavor and beauty to the presentation.

Serve it cold and enjoy the refreshing taste!

    Notes

    I like my Lychee Martini Twist slightly sweeter, so sometimes I add a touch of simple syrup. Give it a try if you like your drinks on the sweet side. Remember to adjust the ingredients to fit your taste.
    Also, if you want to impress your friends or family, frost the glass rim with sugar. It adds a festive touch. Feel free to play around with the ingredients and make the recipe your own. Share how it turns out—I’d love to hear! 🍸😊

    Substitute

    Sometimes, we might not have all the ingredients on hand. No worries! Here are some easy swaps to keep your Lychee Martini Twist delicious. 🍸

    • Lychee Juice: Can’t find lychee juice? Try using pear juice or white grape juice instead. These will keep the drink light and sweet.
    • Vodka: If you’re out of vodka, gin can be a refreshing substitute. It gives the cocktail a nice herbal twist.
    • Triple Sec: Missing this orange-flavored liqueur? Cointreau or a splash of orange juice works well in its place.

    Tip: Add a touch of sweet syrup like agave or honey to balance the flavors if needed. 🐝

    Feel free to mix and match based on what you have at home. 🍹 Let your creativity shine and tweak the recipe to your taste!
