Lychee liquor replaces traditional Peach Schnapps in this different recipe for a bellini. This recipe comes from mixologist Andrew Krauss at New York City's China 1 Antique Restaurant and Lounge.
Ingredients:
- 3 parts Champagne or Dry Italian Prosecco*
- 1 part Lychee wine or Lychee Liquor**
- 1 Lychee nut dropped to bottom of glass***
Preparation:
Served in a tall champagne flute glass.
*We prefer our prosecco, which is crisp and dry.
**Lychee wine or liquor can be found in your local Chinatown Liquor store; the liquor gives it a stronger flavor and punch. There's now an American lychee liquor brand called "Soho" which may be easier to find.
**You can also blend the lychee nut in a processor in its own sweet juice. Peeled, canned lychee nuts are available in a lot of grocery stores.
