Layers of lychee

Lychee and passionfruit mimosa

Lychee Blossom

I really love this lychee sochu and had it two ways today:

the mimosa

The boba tea place near my house makes a delicious refresher with passionfruit and lychee, which are two of my favorite fruits. My husband juiced some passionfruits, so I decided to do a little mix and match with the sparkling wine I’ve been holding onto. I was very pleased with the result.

Lychee Passionfruit Mimosa

1.5 oz lychee sochu

1 oz passionfruit juice

Sparkling Wine Top

the blossom

The Lychee Blossom is a low ABV “martini”, where the lychee pairs beautifully with the rosewater in the grenadine. It’s light and not too sweet. It’d be a nice alternative to a vodka based lychee martini with similar flavors and much less “punch”.
