A refreshing and floral cocktail blending the tropical sweetness of lychee with the delicate aroma of rose water, bright lime juice, and fresh mint, topped with club soda for a sparkling finish. This Lychee Rose Mojito is a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and fragrant flavors, ideal for warm evenings or special occasions.

Ingredients

Liquids

  • 2 oz white rum
  • 1 oz pink lychee syrup
  • 0.5 oz lime juice
  • 0.5 oz rose water
  • Club soda to top

Fruit and Herbs

  • 6 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 lychees, peeled and pitted

Garnish (Optional)

  • Dried rose petals
  • Extra mint sprig
  • Lychee on a pick

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel and pit 2 lychees and gather 6 fresh mint leaves along with 0.5 oz of lime juice to prepare for muddling.
  2. Muddle: In a shaker or mixing glass, add the lychees, mint leaves, and lime juice. Gently muddle until the lychees break up and the mint releases its fresh aroma, being careful not to over-muddle.
  3. Add Liquids: Pour in 1 oz of pink lychee syrup, 0.5 oz of rose water, and 2 oz of white rum. These ingredients enhance the drink with sweetness, floral notes, and alcoholic depth.
  4. Shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake briefly just to chill and combine all the flavors without diluting the mixture excessively.
  5. Strain: Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice to ensure a clean, crisp presentation without fruit pulp or mint leaves floating.
  6. Top and Stir: Top the drink with club soda to add effervescence and stir gently to blend the soda with the cocktail base evenly.
  7. Garnish: Finish by garnishing with dried rose petals, an extra mint sprig, or a lychee on a pick for a visually stunning and aromatic presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh mint and lychees for the best aromatic and flavor impact.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of pink lychee syrup according to your taste.
  • Rose water is potent—use carefully to avoid overpowering the cocktail.
  • The drink is best served immediately for optimal freshness and fizz.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace white rum with extra club soda or a light lychee-flavored soda.
