LYCHEE MARTINI WITH HOMEMADE LYCHEE LIQUEUR
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Peel and cut the lychee fruits in half. Add the pieces to a glass jar that has a capacity of at least 16 ounces. Add the zest of 1 lime, then fill the jar with the vodka.
- Seal the jar and give it a good shake.
- Store in a cool, dark place for four weeks, shaking it every couple of days. Give it a taste test after two weeks, then again a week later to see how the flavor is progressing. Four weeks will give it a good flavor, but it might take more to get to your ideal flavor.
- Once the vodka is flavored to your liking, heavily strain the fruit from the vodka through a cheesecloth or a very clean kitchen towel. Be sure to squeeze all of the liquid from the lychee.
- Strain again to ensure all of the liquid is removed from the fruit. During this final straining, you can filter it directly into the bottle that will store the liqueur: Use a funnel and place the cheesecloth inside.
- Add 1 cup of simple syrup to the bottle, tighten the lid, and shake vigorously. Store the finished liqueur in the refrigerator where it will keep for about three months.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine 1 cup each of sugar and water in a saucepan.
- Bring to a slow boil, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the lychee fruit, reduce the heat, and cover.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 30 minutes.
- Strain the fruit from the syrup and pour it into a glass bottle with a tight-sealing lid. It will keep in the refrigerator for two to three weeks.
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the vodka, lychee liqueur or syrup, and lime juice. Shake well .
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass .
- Garnish with pitted lychee fruit. Serve and enjoy.
