| Ingredients: |
| 30 ml (1 oz) Vodka |

| 30 ml (1 oz) Peach Schnapps |
| 1 dash (4 drops) Grenadine Syrup |

Tips and Variations:
- Lychee has a very short season of 7 weeks. Make best use of it when it is in the season. If fresh ones are not available, then use frozen ones.
- To make its fresh juice, blend peeled and seeded lychees with sugar syrup and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Sieve it through a fine-mesh, press hard on solids to get all flavors out of it.
- Increase the quantity of vodka to 45 ml (1½ oz) for more potent cocktail.
- Add a splash of orange liqueur for nice complimenting citrus flavor.
- Add 15 ml (1/2 oz) simple syrup to make sweeter martini.
