If you thought the chaos was over because Valentine's Day has passed, think again. The Lunar New Year is this weekend (Sunday, February 18), and it's a whole new cycle of fun.Because lychees are traditionally associated with Asian cultures, a lychee martini is the perfect way to start off this weekend. There are several ways to make this subtly flavored cocktail -- whether using a lychee flavored liqueur or regular vodka mixed with lychee syrup -- but my favorite recipe really puts the lychee flavor out there by combining both!
In a cocktail shaker, combine 3 oz. lychee infused vodka or lychee liqueur (like Lichido) with 1 oz. lychee syrup (you can make your own using this recipe, though there are sources online for purchase) and ice. Pur into a martini glass and garnish with a fresh lychee.
