Vodka · COCKTAIL GUIDE

Lychee Martini

Rather than leading with sweetness, fruity, sweet and floral across a lean, light body. The drink is moderate in strength and fairly approachable. Spicy food is a sensible food match when you want to order it at the table. Its finish keeps the vodka base in view, even when the opening flavours feel more immediate. For context, its listed food matches begin with Spicy food and Seafood, and its related-drink path leads to Long Island Iced Tea.
