About This Drink

Lychee season is a celebration in India — the fruit is eaten by hand, its translucent flesh intensely sweet and floral. At Indian weddings, lychee juice is served alongside elaborate dishes as a palate refresher. Tamarind Tribeca's version is what that tradition looks like in a cocktail glass.

Bartender's Tips

Use canned lychees in their own syrup — fresh lychees are beautiful but inconsistent in flavour. Use only 2–3 drops of rose water if using a concentrated brand; it should be a whisper, not a perfume.
