Lemon Lychee Martinis

1 (15-oz) can whole lychees in syrup

¼ cup sugar

¼ cup water

zest and juice of 2 lemons

½ cup vodka

¼ cup Soho lychee liqueur OR another ¼ cup lychee syrup

2 Tbsp. Cointreau or triple sec

Remove 4 lychees from the can and skewer on decorative toothpicks/cocktail skewers, 2 per skewer. Place on a small baking sheet or plate and place in the freezer until frozen firm. Reserve for garnish.

Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for a minute or so or until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the syrup into a blender along with the remaining lychees and the lychee syrup. Zest and juice the lemons into the mixture and then puree until completely smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the solids. Refrigerate the lemon lychee syrup until cold.

When ready to serve, combine the vodka, lychee liqueur, Cointreau, and ¼ cup of the lemon lychee syrup in a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until well chilled and then pour into chilled martini glasses. Garnish with the skewered lychees and lemon twists and serve.

It's funny cause when I drink the first thing that happens before I even get drunk is I begin to slur my speech. Second thing is my left eye begins to go further to the left (I have a bit of a lazy eye and if I'm not paying attention it just sorta does that normally)

So like. Drinks one drink. Gets apparently really drunk. Isn't even that drunk. Begins to feels really sleepy. Is my M.O. at parties. That's why I shouldn't drink

Corpse Reviver No. 2

Absinthe, to rinse

3/4 ounce London dry gin

3/4 ounce Lillet blanc

3/4 ounce Cointreau

3/4 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Easy Frozen Margaritas Authentic margaritas call for lots of fresh lime juice - both expensive and time-consuming. I've found I can shortcut the process by using frozen limeade. And for a festive non-alcoholic drink, combine a 12-ounce can of limeade thawed with a 48-ounce bottle of sparkling water.

Corpse Reviver No. 2

Corpse Revivers have been popular hangover cures since the 19th Century, but one doesn't need to be tipsy to indulge in these tipples! Corpse Reviver No. 2, my favourite of the lot, is indeed best enjoyed sober, I reckon; its delectable tartness enhanced by a hint of sweetness (from the orange liqueur) and a dash of herbaceous flavour (from the absinthe)! It certainly does lift one's spirits up! Cheers!

Ingredients (serves 1):

1/4 teaspoon absinthe

6 large ice cubes

22.5 millilitres/3/4 fluid ounces (1 1/2 tablespoon) London Dry Gin

22.5 millilitres/3/4 fluid ounces (1 1/2 tablespoon) Lillet Blanc

22.5 millilitres/3/4 fluid ounces (1 1/2 tablespoon) orange liqueur (like Cointreau)

1/2 juicy lemon

Pour absinthe in a chilled coupe glass, and swirl it around the glass before pouring it out, to rinse.

Place ice cubes in a shaker.

Top with Gin, Lillet Blanc and Cointreau.

Thoroughly squeeze in the juice of the lemon halve.

Close shaker tightly and shake energetically until well-chilled.

Strain into prepared coupe glass.

Enjoy Corpse Reviver No.2 immediately.
