Ingredients
Mocktail Ingredients
- 8 canned lychees in syrup
- 1 tablespoon elderflower cordial
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
- Sparkling water, to top
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Mint sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the puree: Add the canned lychees along with about one tablespoon of the syrup from the can, elderflower cordial, and fresh mint leaves to a blender. Blend until smooth to create a fragrant lychee puree.
- Strain the puree: Place a fine sieve over a bowl and pour the lychee puree into the sieve. Using the back of a spoon, gently press the puree through the sieve to extract a smooth juice. Discard any remaining pulp left in the sieve.
- Assemble the mocktail: Evenly pour the strained lychee juice into two serving glasses. Add ice cubes and top with sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish and serve: Add a fresh mint sprig to each glass for garnish and serve the mocktails immediately for the best refreshing taste.
Notes
- Using canned lychees in syrup adds natural sweetness, so adjust elderflower cordial quantity if desired.
- Straining the puree ensures a smooth, pulp-free drink.
- Serve immediately to maintain the sparkle and freshness of the mocktail.
- To make it vegan, confirm your elderflower cordial contains no animal-derived ingredients.
