Nobu Lychee Martini Recipe
If you’re anything like me, staying in for a night of sipping cocktails might just be your idea of a great time.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Ice
Ingredients
- 1 ounce of fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce of elderflower liqueur
- 1 ounce of dry vermouth
- 4 ounces of lychee nectar or syrup from a can of lychees
- 6 ounces of premium vodka
- Ice
- 2 lychees for garnish
Instructions
- First, assemble everything you need on your countertop. A clean space makes the process smoother and keeps your energy high.
- You want that martini to be served chilled. Pop your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes while you prepare the drink.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. You’re aiming for a mix that’s not just cold, but refreshingly chilled.
- Carefully add the fresh lime juice, elderflower liqueur, dry vermouth, lychee nectar, and premium vodka into the shaker.
- Close your shaker tightly. Now, shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. You want all the flavors to fuse together while cooling down nicely.
- Remove your glasses from the freezer. Strain the mixture into each glass. Finally, garnish with lychees on a toothpick or simply float them on top of the drink for an elegant touch.
- Take a moment to admire your creation. Allow yourself to relish the satisfying feel of having made this refreshing cocktail.
Notes
- Fresh is Best: Always use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for the brightest flavor.
- Quality Matters: Invest in premium vodka and good elderflower liqueur; it makes a difference.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you like it sweeter, increase the lychee nectar, but be careful not to overpower the other flavors.
- Chill Everything: Ensuring your ingredients, glass, and shaker are cold will enhance the drink’s quality.
- Experiment: Don’t hesitate to tweak the ratios to match your taste preferences. Each batch can be a little adventure!
