Ingredients

• 1 cup canned lychee, drained
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
• 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 4 cups cold water
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• Ice cubes
• Mint sprigs for garnish
• Lemon slices for garnish
• Lychees for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the drained lychees and fresh lemon juice. Blend until you reach a smooth consistency.
2. Pour the lychee-lemon mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any pulp, ensuring a smooth drink.
3. Add the simple syrup, cold water, and finely chopped mint leaves to the pitcher. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
4. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, and pour the lychee mint lemonade over the ice. The tangy aroma of freshly squeezed lemon and the sweet scent of lychee should begin to mingle.
5. Garnish each glass with a sprig of mint, a lemon slice, and a couple of whole lychees. Serve immediately for the ultimate refreshment.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If fresh lychees are in season, use them instead of canned for an even fresher taste.
• For a naturally sweetened option, replace simple syrup with honey or agave syrup.
• Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment on hot days.
• For a fizzy twist, mix half of the water with sparkling water or club soda.

Storage and Substitutions

• Store any leftover lychee lemonade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• If you cannot find lychee, substitute with peeled and pitted rambutan or longan fruits.
• Honey or agave syrup can replace simple syrup for a healthier option.

Pairings and Complements

• Enjoy this Lychee Mint Lemonade with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches or a fresh fruit salad.
• It pairs beautifully with summer desserts like lemon bars or vanilla cupcakes.
