Ingredients for Clarified Lychee Martini

Method

Directions for Making Clarified Lychee Martini

1

Prepare the Lychee Purée

In a blender, combine fresh lychee flesh and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a muslin cloth to remove the pulp, collecting the clear purée in a bowl.

2

Infuse the Vodka

In a jar, combine the Belvedere Pure Vodka, lychee purée, and timur pepper. Seal tightly and let it infuse in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

3

Strain the Mixture

After infusing, strain the mixture again through the muslin cloth to ensure clarity, discarding the solids.

4

Mix the Martini

In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes and the clarified lychee-infused vodka. Add the Ambrato Vermouth and shake well until chilled.

5

Serve

Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a piece of lychee fruit on the rim or dropped into the glass.
