This FruitStand cocktail goes out to lychee lovers everywhere. Because their juicy flesh is mostly water, they freeze beautifully for delicious frozen cocktails. Plus, fresh lychee imparts a creamy, translucent color and nectary sweetness that softens even the strongest cocktails.
Lychees taste like summer in a bite. Fresh lychee fruit’s flavor is often described as a combination of green grape, ripe strawberry and watermelon. This lychee cocktail is best enjoyed after a day at the beach, at the backyard cookout or while lingering poolside.
Iced Lychee Cocktail Recipe
In just one week, lychee fruits impart a fragrant and nectary sweetness to vodka. When you’re ready to party, the lychee infused vodka gets blended with fresh, frozen lychees for a fruity alternative to flavorless ice. Add a touch of lime simple syrup for a citrusy dimension and you have your new go-to summertime cocktail.
