Hi, I'm Brian Nishii from Forbidden City, right here in New York City, for About.com Food, and today I'm going to show you how to make a lychee martini.

Lychee Martini Ingredients

So to make a lychee martini you'll need equal parts of 2 ounces of vodka of your choice, and lychee juice which is essentially pureed lychees. These have been canned and pitted, very easy to use, puree that up. And at the very end were going to add a little bit of Cassis for garnish.
