Method
Cocktail
Shake
Add lychee vodka (2 oz), Canton ginger liqueur (1/2 oz), fresh lemon juice (3/4 oz), yuzu bitters (3 dashes), and optional simple syrup (1/4 oz) into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.
Strain
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass. Double strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any small pulp from lemon or lychee.
Garnish & Serve
Skewer the reserved lychee onto a cocktail pick and place it across the rim of the glass or drop the lychee into the drink. Express a lemon twist over the surface to release oils, rim the glass with the twist, then drop it in or lay it on the rim.
Serve immediately. Optionally, offer a stirrer so the drinker can incorporate the bitters and any settled syrup.
