How to Make Lychee Mocktail (Overview)

Let’s break it down! It’s as easy as 1-2-3… well, 6, but who’s counting? Start by mixing your lychee and lime. Then get ready to crush those mint leaves like a pro—release those fresh aromas! Fill that glass with ice (because we want it cold, right?), top it off with bubbly seltzer, and give it a gentle stir. Pro tip: The mint leaves deserve a little love to bring out their flavor, so don’t skimp on that step!

How to Serve Lychee Mocktail

Serve it up in the prettiest glass you have! Imagine a tall glass filled with sparkling bubbles, a vibrant pink hue from the lychee, and refreshing mint leaves dancing on top. Pair it with savory snacks like spring rolls or a colorful fruit platter to delight all your senses. The aroma of fresh mint and the zing of lime will have everyone coming back for more!

How to Store Lychee Mocktail

If you happen to have any leftovers (although let’s be honest, that’s unlikely!), you can store it in the fridge for about 1 day—not much longer, as the fizz will lose its charm. Want to make it ahead? Mix up the puree and lime juice, store it in a jar, and add the seltzer right before serving. No one likes a flat drink, right?

Tips to Make Lychee Mocktail

Here are some tidbits to elevate your mocktail game:

• Chill your ingredients ahead of time for an extra-refreshing drink.
• If you can’t find lychee puree, use fresh or canned lychee blended until smooth.
• Swap seltzer with coconut water for a tropical twist.
• Add a splash of grenadine for color and sweetness if you fancy a sweeter mocktail.

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Here are some ways to mix it up:

• Berry Boost: Add some muddled strawberries or raspberries for a fruity twist.
• Citrus Splash: Mix in a bit of orange juice for a zesty kick.
• Herbal Infusion: Try basil instead of mint for a completely different flavor experience.

FAQs

• Can I make this ahead of time? Yes! Prepare the lychee puree and lime juice mixture in advance, but add seltzer just before serving for that bubbly texture.
• What if I can’t find lychee? You can substitute lychee puree with mango or pineapple puree for a different but delicious flavor.
• How do I make it more festive? Add a splash of sparkling wine if you want to make a bubbly cocktail version for adults!
