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!
