Pear Lychee Martini
CASE: I needed a Asian-y cocktail to go with our Asian-y dinner. I felt that the simple pear martinis and lychee martinis were a bit boring, and I wanted something super unusual but girlie-delicious (i.e. super sweet). So I made this up by fuzing several receipes. I loved it, but if you don't like the texture of pear, then strain the blend.
Ingredients:
1/2 part Grey Goose La Poire Vodka
1 1/2 part sake
1/2 part simple syrup or 1/2 part sugar
1 can lychee nuts (canned or jarred)
1 lime wedge
3 pears and sliced pear for garnish
Preparation:
Blend the peeled pears with the sugar and the liquid from the lychees. Place in the bottom of a shaker and then add the lychee nuts and lime wedge.
Muddle gently.
Add ice, sake and vodka.
Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosted and beaded with sweat.
Strain into a cocktail glass.
Garnish with a sliced pear.
VERDICT: GUILTY OF BEING DELICIOUS!! Just make sure you pour a splash of vodka on top of lots of sake, and not the other way around.
