A lazy Saturday calls for...

... a lychee martini. Several years ago, I purchased the Nobu West cookbook, thinking I would cook from it frequently. As fancy cookbooks go, I haven't used this one much. I've failed several times at making the mochi ice cream in there, and haven't tried much else. But the lychee martini is a keeper.

1 oz lychee liqueur

1 oz vanilla vodka

1 oz mandarin vodka

½ oz passionfruit juice

splash fresh lime juice

lychee (available at Asian stores in the canned fruit section)

Shake liquids over ice. Serve with a lychee in the glass.
