Lychee wine (Chinese: 荔枝酒)photo is a full-bodied Chinese dessert wine made of 100% lychee fruit. This wine has a golden colour and rich, sweet taste. It is usually served ice cold, either straight up or on the rocks with food. Lychee wine is believed to pair better with shellfish and Asian cuisine than with heavier meat dishes. This refreshing beverage can also be used as a cocktail mixer paired with other spirits. Like plum wine, lychee wine is often considered as an ideal alternative alcoholic beverage for Chinese women.
