Latest Creation: Ruby Red Lychee Cocktail
February 12, 2009
Do you love it when playful creations end up becoming masterpieces? You are going to love this fabulous cocktail.
It all started innocently enough when I wanted a drink. Not just any drink, but a cocktail- something delicious and pretty. You know those nights, something boring just won’t do.
But it was raining outside and so I had no desire to go out- which means the inevitable inventing a drink with what you have on hand. Always interesting, not always a delight! But this one truly was.
So when I am in this sort of mood I tend to go for lychees- love ‘em. I have some soho lychee liqueur, but not too many options of what to mix it with. Mixed only with vodka it ends up missing something and has an unpleasant bite that takes away from the smooth flavor of the fruit. Vodka with lychee juice works fine alone, but somehow the liqueur and vodka on their own do not. So why not grapefruit, make it a citrus cocktail with some style!
The ruby red grapefruit juice not only adds a delicious taste to the mix, but it absorbs any of the bite and blends perfectly with the lychee, giving it instead a pleasant citrus yet smooth finish. The smell alone of this drink is heavenly! You must try this, and I know you will fall in love.
It is part of its charm, so pretty and so delicious!
My hunny created the measurements for me, as my live in bartender he does fantastic work and I approve! I told him what I wanted in my drink (the ingredients listed above) and he made it work wonderfully.
6 oz ruby red grapefruit
2 oz vodka
1 oz lychee liqueur
I love simple recipes, they make up some of the best out there. This gorgeous concoction is a heavenly treat you will enjoy for all occasions! Cheers, loves!

I could so eat my weight in lychees, and then some more. Wish I had them more accessible as fresh.
OMG it sounds divine! I’m kicking myself for drinking the last of my rube red grapefruit juice earlier tonight could soooooo go for a cocktail. Gonna try it when I restock.
p.s. — trying mixing your ruby red with POM Wonderful pomegranate juice. It’s gorgeous and so, so good for you, all those antioxidants and yummy flavor + fab color in a glass!
Definitely do when you restock- and ruby red is key with this one- balances very nicely with the lychee. Sounds like it will work out lovely- you will have a great start with room to create some more!
oh the POM sounds like fun, too! Acai is my favorite when it comes to the antioxidants, but can be so difficult to find alone- don’t know if that would mix in a cocktail but the pomegranate certainly does- love the way you think! Tres fabulous!
