Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or canned lychees, peeled and pitted
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups cold water
- 1 tablespoon honey or to taste
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the lychees, blueberries, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and the mixture has a rich, vibrant hue.
- Add cold water and honey, then blend again until everything is well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
- Place ice cubes into glasses and pour the lychee blueberry mixture over the ice. The juice should be refreshingly cool with a balanced sweetness.

Helpful Tips and Variations
- If lychees are out of season, canned lychees work just as well in this recipe.
- For a lighter version, you can add more water to dilute the drink to your preferred consistency.
- Garnish with a few whole blueberries for an extra touch of elegance and color.
- This juice pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a simple but delightful float.
Storage and Substitutions
If you have any leftovers, refrigerate the lychee blueberry juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Remember to give it a good stir before serving as natural separation may occur. For substitutions, maple syrup or agave nectar can replace honey if you prefer a vegan option.
Pairings and Complements
This vibrant lychee blueberry juice is beautifully complemented by light, summery dishes such as grilled chicken salads, fresh fruit platters, or even a batch of warm blueberry muffins. It’s also a great beverage to enjoy with family during a weekend brunch or as a refreshing afternoon treat.
