Lychee Martini

This is a very tasty and easy to make drink.  It doesn’t require the best vodka  - Stoli works fine.  I lost interest once Martha published it in her magazine a few years ago. Bitch.

1 part lychee juice (from Lychees in heavy syrup.)
1 part simple sugar
2 parts vodka

Combine in a shaker with ice, mix and strain into a martini glass.  Garnish each drink with a lychee.

West African Peanut Soup

A very good Daiquiri

2 cups crushed ice, plus extra for chilling glass
2 ounces light rum
1-ounce freshly squeezed lime juice, strained of pulp
1/2-ounce Simple Syrup, recipe follows

If your glass is not chilled, do so by placing some crushed ice in it and set it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

Place the 2 cups of crushed ice into a cocktail shaker. Pour the rum, lime juice, and simple syrup over the ice, cover, and shake well. Remove the ice from your serving glass and strain the drink into it. Serve immediately.
