Cocktail Description

This elegant Eastern-inspired martini seduces with the delicate perfume of lychee while maintaining the sophisticated backbone of a proper gin cocktail.

The Lychee Love Martini balances the botanical notes of Beefeater gin with the exotic sweetness of lychee liqueur, while the triple sec adds subtle citrus brightness and the dry vermouth brings necessary structure. On the palate, you'll experience floral aromatics followed by a clean, dry finish with just enough sweetness to soften the edges. It's remarkably easy to make, requiring just a simple stir with ice, making it perfect for intimate dinner parties or special date nights when you want to impress without spending the entire evening mixing drinks. This cocktail pairs beautifully with light Asian fare—think steamed dumplings, fresh spring rolls, or delicate seafood dishes like scallops or mild white fish with ginger.
