Lychee Likey

To accompany the Vietnamese rice rolls we were having for dinner, I decided a lychee cocktail would be a good match.

This is another of my experiments that thankfully turned out really well. It’s a pleasant, thirst quenching cocktail with a subtle lychee flavour and an awesome pink glow.

Lychee Likey

• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 2 mint leaves
• 3 lychees
• 60ml lychee syrup from the can
• 30ml vodka
• 15ml strawberry liquer
• 15ml lemon juice
• 30ml cranberry juice
• ice

Muddle sugar, mint and lychees in a mixer so lychees are mushed.

Add all other ingredients, including some ice, and shake well.

Pour into a tall glass with more ice and garnish with a lychee and lemon slice.

Pretend you are relaxing on a beach somewhere in South East Asia.
