Ingredients

1 (20-ounce) can lychees in syrup

2 1/2 cups Lillet (orange wine), chilled

2 teaspoons rosewater

1 teaspoon bitters (recommended: Peychaud's)

Orange twists or slices

Directions

  1. Puree half of the lychees and all of the syrup in a blender until all lychees are liquefied. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, pressing down to get the most from the lychees into a clean pitcher; discard the fibrous solids. Add the Lillet, rosewater and bitters. Refrigerate to chill thoroughly, if needed.
  2. Pour into chilled flutes, martini, or fun juice glasses, and garnish with an orange twist or slice. Drink.

Never had Lillet before and like lychees so I thought I'd give it a try for Easter luncheon. Didn't want anything too strong. I thought the lychee added a nice sweetness to it - I used two 20ounce cans because I wanted it sweeter and froze the unused lychees to put in the pitcher. Orange slices were very good with it. I couldn't find the rosewater at the market and didn't have time to mail order. A woman says she buys the rosewater from a local (Italian or Lebonese) bakery, but learned this after the fact. I would make again.
