Lychee Letters Recipe
Mix all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a rocks glass.
Pomegranate Juice
Pomegranate Juice is the juice of the pomegranate fruit, with a sweet and sour, musty, fruity aromatic flavour and an astringent mouthfeel. However fresh pomegranate tastes vastly different from Pomegranate Juice since the juice is "flash" pasteurised before bottling, which means heating at high temperatures of 90-95 ° C for 45 seconds, the juice flavours are altered by the heat. Be careful when deciding whether you would need fresh pomegranate or juice in your drink based on the demand of the cocktail.
Orange Juice
Orange Juice is an excellent source of Vitamin C, one cup contains twice the daily recommended value. Vitamin C supports the immune system and helps fighting the common cold. The folate in Orange juice supports healthy fetal development. It is low calory and thus is already a qualified alternative to cola fizz in your cocktail if you want to keep your drinks acceptably healthy.
Orange Juice being citrus and naturally sweet and sour, it literally goes with almost any liquor, and of course Vodka being neutral, the best known pairing is with Vodka. But goes well with Dark Rum too, and you get the Planter's Punch, mix it with Champagne and you have made a mimosa, or with tequila to make a tequila sunrise.Soho Lychee Liqueur

Note that in cocktails like Lychee Martini also known as Lichitini or Lycheetini, lychee liqueur is often substituted with Lychee Syrup.Cognac Vsop
