Method
Martini
Prepare garnish
If using fresh lychee, peel and pit 2 lychees. If using canned lychee, drain and reserve one whole lychee (or two halves) for garnish. Thread the lychee onto a cocktail pick and set aside.
Measure and combine
Fill a cocktail shaker with the ice. Add 2 oz Absolut Citron vodka, 1 oz vanilla vodka, and 1 oz lychee juice to the shaker. If you prefer a slightly sweeter or rounder finish, add 0.25 tsp simple syrup and 0.25 tsp fresh lime juice (optional).
Shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold and the ingredients are well combined and slightly frothy.
Strain and serve
Discard the ice or water from the chilled martini glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled martini glass using the shaker strainer and, if available, a fine mesh strainer to remove any small ice shards.
Garnish and finish
Garnish the cocktail with the lychee on a pick, resting it on the rim or dropping it into the glass. Serve immediately.
