The lychees are muddled with fresh mint and lime juice, and the amount of lychee that seeps out is incredible. If you just take a bite from the flesh, you’ll realize just how much juice is stored in each one. The resulting opaque, milky color that comes out is entirely from the lychee!

Another much anticipated return, this vodka boasts smooth, delicate vanilla notes for a light yet satisfying taste. The bottling technique: Add your spirit to a Kilner jar or another sealable container. Make sure your kit is clean and sterile to avoid the spirit going bad. Then add your infusing ingredient and leave it to leach into the spirit. Here's a rough time guide:Leave strong chilli, vanilla, cardamom or citrus for less than a day.Hardy spices and strong-flavoured veg will need five to seven days.Berries and strong fruit can take around three to four weeks to impart as much flavour as possible.Milder ingredients like apple or florals will take up to a month. Place on a plate or sheet pan to dry. Put in the freezer for at least an hour or until firm and cold. SIMPLE SYRUP: Simple syrup add a bit of sweetness. It’s also super easy to make. I’ve added the directions below. If can also skip adding the simple syrup if you feel you are getting enough sweetness from the lychee nectar.Grapefruit, Lime, and Lychee Fizz is an energizing mix of citrus fruits that will cool you down. You'll feel as if you're in paradise by sipping through these flavorsome bubbles while lounging poolside - or even just at home with friends having some good old-fashioned fun! Ingredients I used Empress 1908 Gin for this recipe but please use any gin that you enjoy. Other recipes you may like!

Chatting about the launch in a release, Asda’s Product Developer, Marion Muir, said: " Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to remind loved ones just how much you care, adding special finishing touches, like a deliciously romantic gin liqueur, to your evening can make it extra special. However, I prefer to make my own homemade lychee syrup! This homemade version is so easy to make, because you only need 2 ingredients, canned lychee and sugar. I actually love using the juice instead canned lychees. I find it to have a wonderful sweet flavor and you can also use the lychees as a garnish for the drink. Can I substitute with another type of juice?Fresh lychees are easy to peel. Start by removing the skin. Then, make a cut in the flesh of the fruit and squeeze out the pit. Now you’re ready to make some lychee martini magic! What I am a massive fan of is films like The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday, The Apartment… all of them romantic comedies with brains, heart and dialogue that you want to quote forever. And all of them made at least 50 years ago… I guess they don’t make them like the used to – to use a cliché that happens to be absolutely true. I am not a big fan of romantic films – at least not the of the paint-by-numbers ones designed specifically to tug at the heartstrings – girl meets boy, they fall in love and ride off into the sunset, after overcoming the usual obstacles of course. As if all that wasn’t enough, Aldi is bringing a selection of summery spirits to shelf, including new Mediterranean flavours of its popular Greyson’s Gin, flavoured premium vodka and rum, and for the traditionalists some new and improved unflavoured spirits. 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.
