Begin by gathering all your ingredients. This makes the process smoother and ensures you don't miss anything. Measure out the vodka and lychee juice or syrup in separate containers.

Take a cocktail glass and fill it with ice. Let it sit for a few minutes. This will cool your glass, ensuring your cocktail remains at the perfect temperature.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, lychee juice or syrup, and dry vermouth. If you love a tart twist, add the fresh lime juice. If you’d like a sweeter edge, pour in the simple syrup.

Add ice to the shaker until it’s almost full. Secure the lid tightly. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds! This chilling method not only cools the drink but also blends the flavors beautifully.

Once it’s well shaken, discard the ice from your chilled glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass, making sure it’s filled but not overflowing.

Finally, enhance the visual appeal by placing two lychee fruits on a cocktail pick or directly in your drink. Voilà! Your Nobu cocktail is ready to serve.
