Notes
The cocktail works best with canned lychees and their syrup rather than fresh fruit.
Store rose syrup in the refrigerator after opening to maintain freshness.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka with lychee juice and add a splash of club soda.
Choose a premium vodka for the best results, as its quality will affect the final taste.
Keep ingredients cold before mixing for the best texture and temperature.
