Measurements are approximate. I whipped it up quick while waiting to pop champagne after 2020 election was called. I'll have to do again to get it more precise.

Comments

Used Chinese lychee wine (14% ABV) instead of liqueur, which worked quite well (I don't like overly sweet drinks). The result was balanced in flavor, with the pastis (Duval) melding surprisingly well with lychee fruit. The color was amazing: Duval pastis contributed a shifting pearlescent shimmer.
