Ingredients:
- 12 fresh lychees, peeled and pitted
- 1 cup lychee juice
- 1/2 cup rose syrup
- 2 cups chilled sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Fresh rose petals for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Begin by placing the peeled and pitted lychees in a blender. Blend until you get a smooth puree.
- In a large jug, combine the lychee puree, lychee juice, and rose syrup. Stir well to mix all the flavors together.
- Fill each serving glass with ice cubes to keep the drink chilled and refreshing.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

- Serve in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience, especially on hot days.
Storage and Substitutions:
- Store any leftover lychee puree and drink mixture in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
