The art of the Lychee Martini cocktail
Delicate and aromatic on the nose, the Haku Lychee Martini vodka opens with soft floral notes and ripe tropical fruit. On the palate, gentle sweetness leads the way, followed by hints of pear, citrus and a subtle creaminess that gives this vodka cocktail its signature smoothness. The finish is clean, lightly sweet and refreshing, with no sharp edges.
While especially enjoyable during spring and summer—when its floral, cooling character feels most at home—this martini with lychee liqueur remains elegant and comforting year-round, offering a moment of quiet indulgence regardless of the season.

The Lychee Martini vodka, served with Japanese Hospitality
Designed to be enjoyed at home, the Haku Lychee Martini embodies the essence of Omotenashi—the Japanese art of hospitality that values thoughtful preparation, attention to detail, and creating memorable experiences for guests. It reflects a deep appreciation for quiet moments, where balance and harmony take precedence over boldness.
Rather than a drink that demands attention, this Lychee vodka cocktail invites a slower pace—offering a moment of calm and refinement. Its delicate nature makes it perfect for early evening, while richer serves like the Espresso Vodka Martini are ideal for after-dinner occasions, allowing deeper, more comforting flavours to unfold.
