Lychee Lemongrass Cocktail
This is a spectacular drink to enjoy out on the deck on a balmy New Year's Eve. It has been shared with us by Alyce Alexandra from her book Quick Fix In The Thermomix. It is so incredibly refreshing with the lychees and lemongrass, combined with a citrus note from the liqueur.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "The end product tasted divine. I would definitely make it again. This cocktail was so refreshing and easy to drink. I especially loved the fresh lemongrass, which added a pleasant zesty taste to this cocktail." - Liz
