- 1 cup fresh lychees peeled and pitted (or 1 can lychees in syrup, drained)
- 2 teaspoons pure rose water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup optional, for extra sweetness
- 2 cups sparkling water or ginger ale chilled
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
- Edible rose petals for garnish optional
- Fresh lychee fruits for garnish
Add fresh lychees to a blender and blend until smooth to create a lychee puree
Strain the lychee puree through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp for a silky smooth texture
In a small bowl, combine the strained lychee puree with rose water and fresh lime juice
Taste the mixture and add honey or simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter flavor profile
Chill the lychee rose syrup in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes
Add 3-4 tablespoons of the chilled lychee rose syrup to each glass
Top each glass with chilled sparkling water or ginger ale, leaving room for garnish
Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing carbonation
Garnish each glass with fresh mint sprigs, rose petals, and a fresh lychee fruit
Serve immediately while cold and enjoy your beautiful Lychee Rose Mocktail
- Use pure, food-grade rose water for the best flavor in your Lychee Rose Mocktail - avoid cosmetic rose water
- Start with less rose water and gradually add more to taste, as the floral flavor can be overwhelming
- Canned lychees work perfectly and are available year-round, reserve some syrup for extra sweetness
- For a clearer appearance, strain the mixture twice through a fine-mesh strainer
- The lychee rose syrup can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator
- For adult versions, add 1-2 ounces of gin or vodka before adding sparkling water
- Adjust sweetness according to preference - fresh lychees are naturally sweet
- Use large ice cubes to minimize dilution and maintain flavor concentration
- Serve in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful pink color of this elegant mocktail
