Why you'll love this recipe
There are so many reasons to love this recipe, including:
- It's simple to make: several ingredients and a quick shake is all you need to bring your lychee mocktail to life.
- It's perfect for a special occasion: so pretty with gorgeous pink hue, I can imagine this mocktail at a baby shower or bridal shower. If you love pink mocktails (and rose!), try my hibiscus mocktails too.
- The flavor combination: if you haven't tried a lychee and rose combination before, this is a sign that it's time!
Ingredients for a perfect lychee mocktail
Fresh or tinned lychees: Either is fine, but this recipe also calls for the lychee juice from the tin, so I would advise saving some money and choosing the tinned lychees.
Optional - maple syrup or your choice of sweetener: many will find the lychee juice sweet enough, but if you're a sweet tooth, you can a dd a little maple syrup or your sweetener of choice.
Lychee juice from the tin
Rose syrup: I made a low-sugar rose syrup to use in this recipe, which I'll pop in the recipe card below. If you want a quick and easy option, opt for a ready-made rose syrup. Don't forget to check out my rose lemonade too.
Lime juice: fresh is always best when it comes to citrus, but you can use bottled if you wish.
Your choice of mixer: I like to call this a 'choose your own adventure' mocktail'! You have a choice of ginger kombucha, sparkling coconut water or regular coconut water (for those of you who prefer non-carbonated mocktails). You can use the leftovers to make my easy coconut water mocktails.
