#2 / 3 in Lychee Liqueur Cocktails

The idea of the mix is that it unifies in a way the three most prominent countries in the Far East: Korea (the Soju), Japan (Midori - it must be Midori for this cocktail, no other melon liqueurs allowed) and China (the lychee liqueur - not a famous brand, but with certain origin).

The taste is pretty delicate, but in case it comes a bit too sweet for you, just cut the liqueurs proportions and increase the amount of the Soju. Or you may use a stronger variant of Soju, if available - they go up to 45% ABV.

Method

Put the three ingredients in a mixing glass with considerable amount of ice and stir until the outside of the glass gets condensed moisture.
Strain (Julep strainer) into a chilled cocktail glass. If you fancy a garnish, a cocktail cherry might suffice (this cocktail is visually similar to the Japanese Slipper).
