This cocktail is delicious and uses the exotic lychee fruit. If you can’t find them fresh, you can likely find them canned. I love how interesting they look, and the flavor is similar to pear, accentuating the La Poire vodka.
1 ½ parts Grey Goose La Poire Flavored Vodka
1 part sake
½ part simple syrup
3 lychee nuts
1 lime wedge
mint leaves, sliced pear for garnish
In the bottom of a shaker, place the lychee nuts, sugar, and lime wedge. Muddle gently.
Add ice, sake, and Grey Goose La Poire. Shake vigorously and strain into cocktail glass.
Present with mint leaves, sliced pear, or lychee nuts
Hello! My name is Chris and I'm an engineer and a photographer / contributor for Apartment Therapy. In high school my artistic side took a back seat as I pursued a career in math and science. Blogging, however, gives me the chance to bring that creative side front and center again. I'm a native Texan, living in Austin, and love all the things you'll find in a modern metropolis - technology, design, food, and the arts. I hope those interests come together here in pieces you enjoy reading. Thanks for stopping by.
