Lychee: The Fruit That’s Basically a Tropical Wine Grape’s Cooler Cousin
Lychee, the pink-red fruit known for its oddly textured exterior and sweet, floral flavor, is stealing the tropical spotlight! Chef Ming Tsai raves, 'It’s like a large grape with exotic flavor, mushy yet plump,' while Houston’s Mayank Istwal likens it to 'a blend of grape, pear, and rose water.' Whether canned in syrup, fresh in sorbets, or starring in cocktails like the lychee martini (or should we say lychee cocktail?), this fruit is here to jazz up desserts, drinks, and even savory dishes like ceviche. Everything happens for a reason — summer just got a lot tastier!
