My love for the lychee goes back to Hawaii, where you could find them on trees, peel 'em and eat 'em (sort of like what we used to do here with the loquats on our driveway trees... until the neighbor cut 'em down!).
Trader Joe's makes it easier on you, by peeling them, taking out the seed and shoving them in a can. One night I decided to make a simple lychee martini: Two parts lychee juice/light syrup from the lychee can to one part vodka. (Above, Tito's Vodka, a gift I received at some point. Good enough.) Shake it, plop a lychee in a martini glass and serve. It's the most refreshing cocktail you'll have this summer. But because it's so refreshing, you may down it like it's juice.
