Poisons: My Thai

Lychee peartini at My Thai

Ingredients: Grey Goose La Poire, lychee juice, garnished with fresh lychee fruit

Damage: $8.50

Skinny: The price is worth it. This delicately sweet, intricately flavored martini pleases. The sight of the big, pale, white lychees floating in the martini is almost shocking, but the foreignness of the fruit is made welcome by its delicious, light, syrupy taste. A sweet martini, for sure, but one worth trying even by those who hate the corn syrup-infused potion that passes for a modern mixed drink.
