Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 canned lychee
  • 4-5 mint leaves plus more to serve
  • 2 oz white rum
  • 3/4 oz lychee syrup from the canned lychees
  • 3/4 oz lime juice fresh
  • 1/4 oz rose simple syrup or plain simple syrup
  • 3-4 oz soda water
  • Ice

Instructions
 

  • Add the canned lychees to a tall highball glass and muddle firmly to break them down.
  • Add the mint leaves and press lightly once or twice to release the oils.
  • Add the rum, lychee syrup, simple syrup or rose syrup, and lime juice.
  • Stir briefly to combine.
  • Fill the glass with ice.
  • Top with soda water and stir very gently.
  • Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lychee on a cocktail skewer.

Notes

The canned lychee syrup adds floral flavor but isn't as sweet as simple syrup - top it up with a small amount of simple syrup to get the right balance.
