A refreshing and floral twist on the classic mojito, the Lychee Rose Mojito combines the tropical sweetness of lychee fruit with the aromatic essence of rose water and fresh mint, balanced by lime juice and white rum. This elegant cocktail is topped with club soda for a light, bubbly finish, perfect for spring and summer gatherings or a sophisticated evening drink.

Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 oz white rum
  • 1 oz pink lychee syrup
  • 0.5 oz lime juice
  • 0.5 oz rose water
  • 6 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 lychees, peeled and pitted
  • Club soda, to top

Optional Garnishes

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

Instructions

  1. Muddle Ingredients: Add the peeled and pitted lychees, fresh mint leaves, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker or mixing glass. Gently muddle them together to break up the lychees and release the mint’s flavorful oils.
  2. Add Liquids: Pour in the pink lychee syrup, rose water, and white rum into the shaker with the muddled ingredients.
  3. Shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake briefly, just enough to chill and mix the ingredients without overly diluting the cocktail.
  4. Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice to keep the drink cool and refreshing.
  5. Top with Soda: Gently top the cocktail with club soda, and stir lightly to blend the flavors while maintaining the carbonation.
  6. Garnish: Add your choice of garnish such as dried rose petals, an extra mint sprig, or a lychee on a pick to elevate the presentation and aroma.

Notes

  • Use fresh lychees when possible for the best flavor; canned lychees can be used but may alter the sweetness slightly.
  • Adjust the lime juice and syrup to your preferred level of tartness and sweetness.
  • Rose water is potent, so use it sparingly to avoid overpowering the cocktail.
  • This cocktail is best served immediately after preparation to preserve the freshness and effervescence.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, skip the rum and add extra club soda or sparkling water.
