The Perfect Lychee Martini Depends on Your Mood


ShareThis

Two of our favorite restaurants in Honolulu that serve great Lychee Martinis are Indigo for eurasian / Dim Sum and Mongolian food and Alan Wong's Restaurant (click link for menu) for Hawaii regional cuisine.


Lychees on Line is the perfect place to decide what type of lychee you want to prepare for a martini recipe, fresh, frozen or canned. For two very different recipes check out these two at foodnetwork.com, or at epicurious.com. If your in the mood for something a little more labor intensive but delicious, the epicurious  recipe is the same served at Kittichai at 60 Thompson in Manhattan. We love Kittichai, the hotel and their martini, however we honestly prefer our abbreviated version which we have perfected over and over again when we are in Honolulu.
Our Martini:
Martini Shaker
Ice
8 0z Belvedere Vodka
1/4 tsp White Vermouth
1/4 tsp lychee syrup (from the can) or 1/4 tsp powdered sugar
Shake...pour and garnish with 2 lychee fruit skewered on a great toothpick.   Note:  Lychee may be found in the asian food section of the grocery.
This is a great drink, not sweet, but very flavorful and the essence of the tropics....Aloha!
