Our Lychee Martini

Naren Young | Miami Beach, Florida

At Miami Beach’s Sweet Liberty, you’ll find a number of beverage director Naren Young’s reinterpretations of ‘tinis, from the Appletini (made with Calvados and fresh apple cider vinegar) to the Lemon Drop. The bar’s Our Lychee Martini is a bestseller and  leans on lychee liqueur, St-Germain and sauvignon blanc.
