Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce lychee liqueur
- 1 ounce lychee juice
- 1/2 ounce lime juice

Instructions
To make this lychee martini, start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, lychee liqueur, lychee juice, and lime juice. Shake the ingredients together for around 20 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker is frosty. Strain the cocktail into a martini glass, and garnish with a lychee fruit.
For an extra touch, you can rim the martini glass with sugar or a sugar-salt mixture. To do this, dip the rim of the glass in a shallow dish of water, then dip in the sugar or sugar-salt mixture. This will give the glass a sweet, salty flavor that pairs perfectly with the fruity cocktail.
Your lychee martini is now ready to enjoy!
