Awesome and Tasty Special Fruit Martini Recipes
If you are knowledgeable about cocktails, you probably know one thing for sure: making a list of all cocktails in existence is impossible! Why is it impossible, you may ask? It is because there are kinds of cocktail recipes known only be a very small community of people, or even only by their “father”. However, there is one more fact which could be claimed with high levels of certainty- it is that the martini cocktail is one of the most popular and preferred drinks of all times!
Actually, the martini cocktails were one of the first to appear. If you watch old movies, you have probably noticed that people prepare martini even though the movie was made in 1990 for example. But nowadays, things about martini look slightly different though. Basically, saying the word “Martini” means nothing because dozens kinds of martinis have already been developed. For instance, a martini cocktail could be made of lime (what is considered “original martini”), apple juice, pineapple, peach and even chocolate. Making a list of all martini really seems impossible.
However, there is a very tasty kind of martinis which has become very popular. These are the so called “exotic martinis”. Logically, they are given this name because of the fruits which are used as an ingredient: the most popular of them are lychee and raspberries. Actually, these two martini cocktails turned out to be one of the most preferred one and they definitely need to get their fair share.
It’d be best if we began with the lychee. There are no doubts that it is one of the most exotic fruits used for martini but there are not any doubts that you hardly know anything about this fruit. Basically, it originates from Thailand but it was firstly cultivated in China in 2000 BC. Nowadays, China hardly plays any role in the lychee export due to the inappropriate climate which is not completely favorable for the fruit. However, Thailand seems to be the place where lychee grows as easily as weeds and no wonder, this country is actually the main supplier of the fruit. And what can we say about lychee’s taste? It is really difficult to explain it since this fruit just needs to be tasted. Probably, I could say it is anything between bitter and sour, similar to the lime. Unsurprisingly, the sour taste is not likely to surprise especially if you know that lychee is a bomb of vitamin C.
And what could be said for the raspberries? They are definitely more familiar than the lychee as you can find raspberries growing almost in all European countries and most of the countries in the Americas. However, even if your country’s climate is not good for raspberries’ growing, you probably can find them in every shop. And we could not say the same about lychee, right? Basically, raspberries have a great taste although it is much more difficult than the taste of the lychee (and lime) which makes it quite a strange ingredient for a martini. Anyway, you can be sure that having tasted a “raspberry martini”, you’ll definitely want to drink a few more!
