While I've had a lychee cocktail before — I loved the 500 Miles High at Pebble Bar, a New York City cocktail lounge part-owned by Kardashian's boyfriend Pete Davidson — I've never had a lychee martini like the one at Nobu, so I didn't know what to expect.
When I took my first sip out of that cold glass, I felt chic. But sadly, I didn't like the drink.
I'm personally not a vodka fan, so this reaction makes sense. But I've had other vodka-based cocktails that were less alcohol-forward in flavor, and I enjoyed those, so I thought there was a chance I'd like this one, too.
Ultimately, the drink was too overwhelming for my palate, as the strong alcohol taste was paired with the super-sweet flavor of what the bartender told me was basically canned lychee sent through a juicer.
I was surprised someone like Kardashian who says she rarely drinks has this vodka-forward cocktail as their one go-to. But hey, to each their own.
