Equipment

  • Large pitcher: I use this to mix and serve the punch easily.
  • Citrus juicer: This helps me get fresh juice from lemons and limes.
  • Mixing spoon: Stirs everything together for even flavor.
  • Measuring cups and spoons: I rely on these for accuracy.
  • Muddler or wooden spoon: Useful for gently pressing mint leaves, if I want more flavor.
  • Strainer: I sometimes use this to remove pulp from the juices.
  • Serving glasses: Chilled glasses make the punch more enjoyable.
  • Ice cube tray: I freeze ice cubes in advance to keep everything cool.
  • Small knife and cutting board: For slicing fruit garnishes.

Ingredients

  • 1 can 20 oz lychee fruit in syrup: I use both the fruit and the syrup for sweetness.
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice: Adds a natural tangy taste.
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice: Gives a bit of tartness.
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice: Balances sweetness and acidity.
  • 2 cups lemon-lime soda or sparkling water: I pour this in last for bubbles.
  • Fresh mint leaves: Optional but I find they boost the aroma.
  • Ice cubes: To chill the drink without watering it down too fast.
  • Strawberries or lime slices: For garnish.
  • Optional: I sometimes add a few raspberries for color.

Instructions

  • Drain the lychees and save the syrup; place both in the pitcher.
  • Add orange juice, lime juice, and pineapple juice to the pitcher.
  • Lightly muddle the mint leaves with a muddler or wooden spoon and add them in.
  • Pour in the lychee syrup for extra sweetness.
  • Mix everything well with a large spoon.
  • Add plenty of ice cubes to the pitcher.
  • Right before serving, pour in lemon-lime soda or sparkling water for fizz.
  • Stir gently to combine without losing bubbles.
  • Pour into chilled glasses and garnish each with strawberries or lime slices.
  • Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

If you’re not into super sweet drinks, swap the soda for sparkling water. I play with the fruit juice amounts depending on how tart or sweet I’m feeling that day.
Want more mint? Just muddle in a few extra leaves. This recipe doubles easily for parties, and sometimes I’ll freeze lychee syrup and fruit into ice cubes for a fun twist.
If you want it extra cold, chill all the juices and soda before mixing. Fresh-squeezed juice usually tastes better than bottled, just saying.

Must Have Ingredients

Tasting Notes

When I take a sip, the first thing that hits is the gentle sweetness from the lychee. It’s got this unique, mellow fruitiness—definitely not your everyday punch vibe.

The color is a soft, blushy pink. Looks super inviting in a clear glass, especially with ice and a couple of fruit slices floating around.

Here’s what stands out in the flavor:

  • Lychee: soft, floral, and sweet
  • Citrus: adds a bright, tart kick
  • Sparkling water: provides a fizzy texture

There’s also this mild aroma from the lychee and citrus. It’s subtle, but it just makes everything feel extra refreshing.

The drink itself is smooth and a bit bubbly. If I’ve added mint, there’s a cool note at the finish, which I really like.

The aftertaste is clean—not too sweet, honestly. Leaves my mouth feeling refreshed, which is kind of the whole point, right?

Substitute

Sometimes I just don’t have all the ingredients for the Pink Lychee Punch Mocktail. On those days, I end up winging it with some easy swaps.

Here are some common substitutes:

  • Lychee juice: If fresh juice is out of reach, I’ll grab canned lychees and blend them with a splash of water. Grape juice isn’t perfect, but it’ll do if I’m desperate.
  • Pink lemonade: I usually mix lemon juice with cranberry juice. It gets pretty close in color and taste—good enough for me.
  • Club soda: Lemon-lime soda or even plain sparkling water steps in for that fizzy kick.

Equipment:

  • Measuring cup
  • Spoon
  • Blender (if making juice from fruit)

Ingredients:

  • Lychee juice substitute (canned lychee or grape juice)
  • Pink lemonade substitute (lemon juice + cranberry juice)
  • Soda substitute (sparkling water or lemon-lime soda)

Instructions:

  • If I need juice, I’ll blend up canned lychees with a bit of water. It’s not fancy, but it works.
  • For pink lemonade, I just mix equal parts lemon and cranberry juice. Super simple.
  • When club soda’s missing, sparkling water keeps things bubbly enough for my taste.
