X & I love cocktails. I blame it on NY cos it is afterall the capital of cocktails. As for X, I don't know what is his excuse.
I'm starting a series of our favorite cocktail drinks starting with lychee martini. What better way than to acknowledge New York's love for martinis. You name it & the bar tenders there can make it - shaken, stirred, dirty, saketinis, appletinis, water melon martinis, the list goes on.
Here's how we do a lychee martini. Pour one part lychee juice (found in canned lychees) with one part vodka (of course, if you want it to be less alcoholic you can do 2:1) then add lots of ice into cocktail shaker. Shake thoroughly. Pour it out into martini glasses (without the ice). Serve it well chilled with 2-3 lychees.

This post is dedicated to all my friends in New York who may have, at one time or another, shared more than a few drinks with me (you all know who you are). Cheers !!

Of course I remember the aloe martinis. I will be in Paris next month & I'm still thinking if I should lug some bottles back. Those are so good.
