4 fresh blueberries
→ Liquids
03 -

→ Others
07 -
Ice
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Gently place one fresh blueberry into the cavity of each drained canned lychee to create an 'eyeball'. Refrigerate to maintain chill and enhance presentation.
02 -
Add vodka, reserved lychee syrup, elderflower liqueur, and fresh lime juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until frosty and well blended.
03 -
Strain the mixture into a pre-chilled martini or coupe glass. Thread the lychee 'eyes' onto cocktail picks and either rest them on the glass rim or submerge them in the drink for a spooky effect.
# Additional Suggestions:
01 -
Pre-chill glassware in the freezer for at least 10 minutes for an extra cold and clear cocktail.
02 -
Use a high-quality vodka to preserve the delicate flavors of elderflower and lychee.
03 -
Assemble the lychee and blueberry garnish up to one day in advance, storing refrigerated in an airtight container.
04 -
Adjust sweetness by adding additional lime juice if the drink is too sugary, or dilute slightly with soda water.
