In this recipe, you may use the syrup from , store-bought , or homemade lychee juice if you have access to fresh lychee.
To make your own homemade lychee juice, add about 20 fresh pitted lychees into a blender with 1/2 a cup of water. Blend until smooth, then run it through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the pulp. Finally, add three tablespoons of simple syrup to the juice, then stir to combine.
Grace from Nyonya Cooking has a great resource on Lychee Soda. If you would like a little bubbly in your martini, I encourage you to give her recipe a try and incorporate it into this recipe.
Tip: Fill your martini glass with ice as you prepare your Lychee Martini, then pour out all of the ice just before filling your glass. This helps to ensure that your glass and drink stays super cold as you serve it.
