I loved LYCHEE Martini ever since i tried it in South Beach, Miami… our variation… I blended a whole can of Lychee (puree) and used as the juice… OMG this was sooooooo awesome!!!! similar to the one at South Beach!!!
Soo yummy! Easy recipe and we used red cranberry juice and added heavy splash of simple syrup also.
Buy Lichee Liqueur instead of schnapps and you have a real martini
I had a lychee martini at a Thai restaurant in Chicago and fell in love! This recipe tastes exactly like theirs if you omit the peach schnapps.
Very good mix! I tried another simple recipe for lychee martini and thought it was too strong. So I referred to this one and ran back to the store to get the extra ingredients! It was great!
This was the favorite among the various martinis we tried. I substituted Patrons Citronge for peach schnapps, and red cranberry instead of white cranberry – this gave nice rose tint to the drink. I also garnished it with a mint leaf. Excellent!
I love Lychee Martinis from one of my favorite sushi places.. but I was able to enjoy them just as much last night with my mom and sister. The peach was a great combination! I will most definatly enjoy these at home again!
i love lychee martinis when i go to restaurants. Now I can make it at home. yay!
As I read this, I am imbibing a lychee martini (well, actually, I only had the can of lychees and some cheap vodka..lol) but technically, you’re supposed to use fresh or frozen lychees, not canned. Still, love these things!
Yummm. Very goood.
This is a great martini. For those who don’t know what a lychee is, it’s an asian fruit. To me, it tastes like grapefruit and pears, with the texture of a canned pear. The peach schnapps goes great with the lychee. I didn’t have the white cranberry juice, so I just used all lychee juice.
These are quite good. I didn’t have peach schnapps, so ended up adding a bit more lychee juice. This helped keep it from being too strong, as the Vodka I had on hand has quite a distinct flavor on its own. I also didn’t have white cranberry juice, but used the regular red kind. It ended up a nice light pink color. I think I might try this with gin, by adding a bit of lychee juice to a gin and tonic, and adding a lychee for garnish.
This are yummy, but very strong. I added an extra half shot of cranberry juice and a little grenadine to tone it down. I highly recommend!
made these last night, forgot the white cranberry juice, but they were delish anyway!
I used 3 oz of vodka & omitted the peach schnapps. I also shook it w/ crushed ice instead of cubes because it’ll make the drink a bit thicker & frostier using crushed ice. Took a sip & then added a tsp or so of simple syrup (equal amounts sugar & water boiled for a couple of minutes to dissolve the sugar…allow to cool). That not only sweetened up the drink but brought out the flavor of the lychees. Thsi went great w/ Bobby Flay’s Chinese Chicken Salad…thanks for the recipe!
this was the only recipe i could find on this to make this delicious martini!!! i’ve had this at fine sushi restaurants, and it is the best! you will love it!
