The Crouching Tiger, or Lychee Martini as it is sometimes called, is a popular cocktail that originates from Asia. The sweet and tangy flavors of the Soho Lychee Liqueur blend well with the reputedly smooth tequila to create this cocktail that has a little bit of bite. The drink is named after the famed movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, and it is perfect for an evening social event or a cocktail party that involves dancing. It is usually served in a cocktail glass and garnished to improve presentation and taste.

4.	Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
5.	Garnish with a lychee fruit, if desired.
