Amazingly Simple, Refreshing & Flavorful Lychee Mojito
This enticing mojito with lychee is flavorful and fresh. Adding lychee to a mojito enriches its flavor by adding a sweet, slightly fragrant note. Lychee syrup and canned lychee are used to flavor it. Use simple syrup or lychee syrup from a can in place of lychee syrup if you don’t have any on hand.
A typical mojito’s ingredient list contains sugar, lime juice, white rum, soda water, and mint. The blend of sweetness, citrus, and mint notes elevate the rum, resulting in a delightfully pleasant beverage. However, I prefer non-alcoholic drinks. This variation is for lychee fans, and I substitute club soda and Sprite (a carbonated drink) for the rum in this well-liked summertime cocktail.
