For your next dinner party, impress your guests with a cocktail that is easy, delicious and vibrant!
After our co-host Stephanie discovered the Ultraviolet Lychee drink at Earl's Kitchen + Bar in Orlando, FL, we were OBSESSED. We had to make our own version for our podcast listeners. - photos to come -
Ube is not new to our co-host Kaehla's family– Filipinos add it into every dessert possible, and after trying it, you'll understand why. Ube, also known as purple yam, is naturally sweet and a great source of antioxidants and potassium. Some common uses of ube are in breads and cakes, boba teas and, of course, this cocktail. Using ube extract in your ube lychee martini will make it a drink a fun purple color with less work to prepare it (and who doesn't love that?).
AWHF Ube Lychee Martini Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tbs ube flavor extract
1.5 oz Avua Cachaca (sugar cane liqueur)
0.5 oz Giffard Lichi-Li (lychee liqueur)
squeeze of lime juice
egg white (optional to enhance flavor and texture)
Heads up: In case ube flavor extract may be hard to find in-store, we found McCormick's Ube Flavor Extract on Amazon for you (paid link).
Use a shaker to mix/chill the ingredients. Pour into your fanciest glass, and garnish with lychee balls and a lime slice. Cheers!
