Lychee Buzz Martini

Cocktail Description

The Lychee Buzz Martini transforms the traditional martini into an exotic floral adventure with a surprising honey-herbal backbone.

This vibrant cocktail balances the honeyed, herbal notes of Drambuie with the delicate floral sweetness of lychee liqueur, while fresh lime cuts through with brightness and cranberry juice adds a gentle tartness and striking color. The flamed orange zest garnish introduces subtle caramelized citrus aromatics that dance above the glass with each sip. Perfect for spring and summer gatherings or as a sophisticated pre-dinner cocktail, the Lychee Buzz Martini works wonderfully as an aperitif to stimulate the appetite. It's relatively straightforward to prepare—the most technical aspect being the flamed orange zest finish, which is worth mastering for the aromatic impact. This cocktail pairs beautifully with Asian-inspired appetizers, particularly those featuring seafood like shrimp dumplings or crab rangoon, where its sweet-tart profile complements without overwhelming delicate flavors.
