Emperor Lychee Vodka 70cl Super Premium

Product Information

Balanced – The slight sweetness of the Grand Marnier mellows the vodka and mingles well with the flavor of the lychee. Citrus– While lychees have a touch of acidity in their flavor profile, you can also add a little more with a splash of lemon or lime juice.

Vodka: Get good quality vodka and keep it chilled. I usually keep mine in the freezer at all times (It’s a must in case of a zombie invasion). I am also a traditionalist, and my martini must be served in a classic martini glass that is thin, tall, and with a wide mouth. However, you can serve this in your favorite style glass. Ingredients needed Shake vigorously until well chilled, and then pour into chilled martini glasses. Garnish with the skewered lychees and lemon twists and serve. To make a lychee syrup you will need 200g of sugar, 250ml water and a few (approximately 5) peeled and pitted lychees. You can use fresh or tinned.Last week, I was fortunate enough to get a reservation at Masaharu Morimoto’s restaurant in Orlando, Florida. Well, truth be told, it was my friend Lauren’s organizational skills that got us in for dinner! They are always so booked.

Unique– Less common than standard martinis or other fruity versions, this is a great way to impress guests. You’ll possibly even introduce them to fruit they haven’t tried before. Fresh lychee season starts in June and lasts through summer. Unfortunately, in my area it is almost impossible to find this fresh fruit so I usually buy it in cans. This drink is balanced, but not sweet. If you prefer a sweeter martini, add half an ounce to one ounce of simple syrup to this recipe before shaking. Use ice cubes, not crushed ice, when shaking all the ingredients. When shaken, ice cubes will give it that coldness you want. The crushed ice will dilute your drink. Canned lychee can be found in the Asian area of any supermarket or super center, as well as in Asian stores. How Do You Pronounce Lychee?Remove from the syrup and blot dry with paper towels. Insert a whole maraschino into the hole of the lychees. Color-changing– Give your guests a show by using a color-changing gin-like Empress that will be transformed when different ingredients are added. Tip: If you choose this method, it may be better executed by stirring rather than shaking for the “wow” factor. Drain the lychees. Place the lychees in a bowl and pour the maraschino cherry syrup over them. Let sit for about 10 minutes or until the lychees look “bloodshot.” Place on a plate or sheet pan to dry. Put in the freezer for at least an hour or until firm and cold.

Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for a minute or so or until the sugar is dissolved.Righto, here’s the real deal liqueur recipe. You will need around 16 to 20 peeled and pitted lychees (tinned is fine), the zest of one lime, and 500ml of vodka. Morimoto’s uses lychee liqueur on their recipe and even though it was as close to perfection as you can imagine, I wanted to create something at home that was just as delicious, but both accessible and affordable!
