A cocktail shaker is necessary to mix all ingredients well.
A strainer will help separate the solid parts, like lychee fruit pieces, from the liquid. This keeps the drink smooth.
A muddler will help in crushing some ingredients to release their flavors.
Finally, make sure you have a nice wide glass to serve the mocktail with style! 🍹
Ingredients
Here's what you need to create this mocktail:
1cupof fresh or canned lycheepeeled and pitted
1/2cuplemonadepreferably pink
1tablespoonlime juice
Sparkling water to top off
Ice cubes
Mint leaves for garnish
Pro tip: Fresh lychees make the mocktail tastierbut canned ones work too!
Instructions
I start by muddling the lychees in the cocktail shaker to crush them and release their juice.
Add pink lemonade, lime juice, and a handful of ice cubes into the shaker, then shake well until it's mixed.
Strain into a glass filled with ice cubes.
Top with sparkling water for fizz.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Enjoy this cool drink by the pool or at a picnic! 🍹💦
Notes
To make it sweeter, add a teaspoon of simple syrup before shaking.You can also swap sparkling water for ginger ale for a twist.If there's extra, store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Serve over ice to enjoy the full refreshing taste.I'd love to hear about your experiences!Please share your thoughts or any tweaks you make in the comments. 😊
