Ingredients
- 6 raspberries
- 4 canned lychee
- ½ tablespoon syrup from lychee can
- 3 oz gin or vodka
- 1 dash vermouth
Instructions
Ahead of time
- Put one of the raspberries into the middle of one of the lychee so the end of the berry is facing outward (ie you can't see the open part). Press a short popsicle stick into the other end of the lychee then sit on a plate or baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours until frozen (you can also do the day before).
When ready to make drink
- Put some ice in your glass to chill it. Crush the rest of the raspberries on a plate to form a paste.
- Put the remaining lychee in a cocktail shaker or small bowl and add the ½tbsp syrup from the can. Muddle/crush the lychee to release the juices. Add the gin/vodka and vermouth and shake/stir to mix.
- Discard the ice from the glass and dip the rim of the glass in the mashed raspberries to give a red rim to the glass. You can dab on extra by hand.
- Put the frozen lychee 'popsicle' in the glass then strain the lychee martini into the glass. Enjoy!
