Soho Lychee Liqueur is a French lychee liqueur from Pernod Ricard, bottled at 21% ABV (42 proof). It is made at the Caves Byrrh house in Thuir, in the south of France.
It is flavoured with natural essences of Asian lychees, capturing the fruit's exotic, floral character.
It is crystal clear, with floral aromas, candied fruit and a hint of rose petal, and a gently sweet, properly fruity entry with a light-to-medium body.
It is the classic base for the lychee martini, and a favourite in Asian-inspired cocktails.
Its tall white bottle with a red label is a familiar sight on cocktail bars around the world.

How to Enjoy It
Soho is the key to a lychee martini: shake it with vodka and a splash of lychee syrup or juice and strain into a chilled glass, garnished with a lychee. It also adds an exotic lift to a gin and tonic, a sparkling wine cocktail or a mojito, and makes a refreshing highball with soda water and lime. Serve it chilled and neat as a digestif, or over crushed ice. Pair lychee cocktails with sushi, dim sum and Thai dishes. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place after opening.
