I suppose just using creme de menthe instead of the mint leaves could kill two birds with one stone. But that's a bit of a guess.

I once wanted to make an acai sorbet, but acai rots so fast, you can't get it fresh in the states. Instead, I made a blueberry dark chocolate chip sorbet and it emulated the flavor perfectly.

You suck :) BTW, I'm not sure how much the canned lychees were (bought at HKS in Elmhurst) but I feel like it would be the same price... I feel like I've paid $2 for a can of lychees at an Asian market before, but years ago, maybe they're cheaper now? PS Have you ever been to the place in the tunnel in Chinatown- the tunnel that runs from Bowery through to Elizabeth St.? It's called Coluck (the restaurant in the tunnel) or that's what it was called when I was in HS, erm, like 10 years ago, and they sell ice drinks. I couldn't place what I liked about them from other places until I realized ... they use a slurpee like machine stocked with a white/clear mixture, I think it's just slushed ice with a simple syrup (maybe the syrup from the cans of lychee- but then they use this for everything, not just lychee ice) mixed in, and if you order longan or a lychee ice, they plop some longans or lychees on the bottom of a plastic cup, then turn the machine on and put some of that slush mixture on top? Then you take a spoon and a straw and slurp it up... or you can order a mixed fruit one, they put fruit cocktail in it and squirt red syrup on top... I always liked this place better than the other places for "red bean ice" drinks... I can't quite picture how other places do those though now... it's been too long. Sorry but yeah, that place used to be like $1.50 for an ice drink... no idea about now- god your post brought back some good memories!!! Thanks!

I have been thinking of trying to make something similar with cherimoya, as they have such a creamy texture - have you ever done anything with them? I love lychee anything for some reason, but I agree with the abve post about needing something tart. Cool idea altogether!

I just made it with a dash of Lichido liquor, which made it a bit pink but added just a little zing of guava and really aromatic lychee and peach goodness. I think the mint and lemons make the perfect tart contrast to the sweetness, and I added a drop of lemon extract to provide that lemon peel scent. Heavenly. Thank you. Excellent recipe!
