Lychee and Soursop Martini

February 10th, 2010

My favourite fruit is Sirsak, so naturally when I found this I had to post it. Can’t remember where I found it though.

Ingredients:

• 18 lychees
• 6 tablespoons soursop, peeled, deseeded, with flesh extracted
• 4 handfuls ice
• Juice of 6 limes
Lychee Liqueur, approx 3 second pour (to taste)
• Cointreau, approx a 3 second pour (to taste)

Directions:

• Place all the ingredients into a blender, reserving 6 lychees for garnish. Place a lychee in each glass and fill with martini.

A member of the custard apple/ atemoya family. Fruits are heart-shaped with a rough green skin with soft fleshy spines. The flesh is very juicy and slightly acid, and produces a rich creamy juice which is very refreshing. Great for ice creams and smoothies
