Lychee Lime Fizz Cocktail Recipe

I love how this drink blends that sweet lychee with the sharp lime and the bubbly sparkle from soda water. It’s refreshing, super simple, and just right for warm days or casual hangs.

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker to mix everything together.
• Muddler for pressing the mint leaves and getting those oils out.
• Jigger or measuring cup so you don’t overdo it.
• Strainer to keep out the ice and fruit bits.
• Highball or Collins glass for serving.
• Long spoon if you’re skipping the shaker and just stirring.
• Small knife and cutting board for slicing up lime or lychee.
• Ice cubes—pretty much essential to keep it chilled.

I like chilling my glasses first—makes the fizz stick around longer. Using fresh ice and a clean shaker keeps everything crisp.

Ingredients

• 2 oz vodka, gin, or white rum (pick your favorite).
• 1 oz lychee syrup or juice from canned lychees.
• 1 oz fresh lime juice.
• ½ oz simple syrup or honey (if you want it sweeter).
• 3–4 fresh mint leaves.
• 3 oz sparkling water or soda water for bubbles.
• Ice cubes for the shaker and glass.
• Fresh or canned lychees and a lime wheel for garnish.

Whenever I use canned lychees, I save a bit of the syrup to tweak the sweetness. Fresh lychees give a lighter, brighter flavor, while the canned ones taste a little richer.

Instructions

• Drop mint leaves and lime juice into the shaker. Gently muddle to get that mint oil out.
• Pour in the vodka, lychee syrup, and simple syrup.
• Toss in some ice and shake for about 15 seconds until it feels cold.
• Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice.
• Top with sparkling water or soda water, and give it a gentle stir.
• Garnish with a lychee and a lime wheel.

I always sneak a quick taste before serving. If it’s too tart, I’ll tip in a bit more syrup. Too sweet? Just squeeze in a little extra lime.

Notes

I usually go for vodka because it keeps things clean, but gin brings a floral edge that actually pairs nicely with lychee. Rum? That makes it a bit rounder and gives off a tropical vibe.

If you want a lighter version, skip the extra syrup and just use lychee juice. Chilling everything before you mix helps the fizz stay strong.

Sometimes I float a mint leaf or a lychee on top for a simple garnish. The drink should look clear, bubbly, and smell gently of lime and lychee.

Tasting Notes

I tried the Lychee Lime Fizz Cocktail and honestly, it’s so light and crisp—almost like it’s made for lazy summer days.

The first sip hits with gentle lychee sweetness, and then, bam, a quick, clean burst of lime wakes things up.

It reminds me of a refreshing cocktail you’d want to sip outside when it’s warm, maybe with friends.

The fizz brings a soft sparkle, keeping the drink lively but never harsh or overwhelming.

I really like how the bubbles lift those fruity notes, making every sip feel extra fresh.

There’s a nice balance between the tropical fruit and citrus—nothing’s fighting for attention.

Lychee comes across smooth and a bit floral, while the lime adds just enough tang to keep things interesting.

When I serve it cold, the aroma jumps out—bright, inviting, almost teasing you before that first sip.

You can pick up hints of lychee and lime right away, and honestly, that just makes the whole thing even more enjoyable.

If I had to sum it up, I’d call it a tropical drink that’s light, fizzy, and so easy to drink.

It’s the sort of lime fizz cocktail that somehow feels both simple and just a little bit special.
