Juan Howard at Azie on State created a signature drink that bartender Murph (Shannon Murphy) is terrific at making for patrons.
One of the ingredients is a Lychee fruit - which you can see in the photo. Lychees have been cultivated for thousands of years in China. Lychee trees have now been grown in Florida for more than 100 years. You can also find them in Hawaii and parts of California. They contain polyphenols that work as antioxidants. You can almost get your full daily recommended amount of vitamin C in one 3.5 oz serving of fresh lychee fruit. Yay, a drink with benefits.
