Last-Minute Getaway Recipe

The last-minute getaway is an unexpected, refreshing marriage of lychee, mint, and the anise-forward spice of peychauds bitters, backed by vodka or gin (your choice, but we prefer it with gin). This drink started life as the lychee cosmopolitan, invented by food writer nancy buchanan. Were stickers for cocktail names and couldnt abide by such a misnomer its nothing like a cosmopolitan but we wanted to honor the author while making room for our own recipe substitutions. Weve re-christened it the last-minute getaway from a story in the blog post where buchanan unveiled the recipe.
