- Gently stir the fruit into the wine mixture.

Notes
This recipe serves 6-8 people. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less rose syrup.
For best results, use fresh lychees when in season. If using canned, drain well and rinse lightly to remove excess syrup.
Make sure all ingredients are well-chilled before mixing. This helps the flavors blend and keeps the drink cold longer.
You can prep the fruit ahead of time and store it in the fridge until ready to use.
Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 2 days, but the fruit may start to soften. Add fresh club soda when serving again to bring back the fizz.
