Ingredients

Shop links on this page are for honey or agave nectar. Buy the package that says gluten-free. A shared production line is the usual risk with these pantry items.

1 cup lychees, pitted (fresh or canned, drained)
0.5 cup rose water
2 cups sparkling water or club soda, chilled
1-2 tbsp honey or agave nectar (optional, to taste) Shop
1 cup ice cubes
2 sprigs fresh mint or rose petals for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1 In a blender, combine the pitted lychees and rose water. Blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds, or until the lychees are pureed into a smooth consistency. You should see a vibrant, slightly thick puree forming.
2 If using, stir in the honey or agave nectar into the lychee puree until fully dissolved. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness as desired, adding more sweetener a teaspoon at a time if needed.
3 Fill two serving glasses generously with ice cubes. Divide the lychee-rose puree evenly between the two glasses, ensuring about half of the puree goes into each.
4 Slowly pour the chilled sparkling water or club soda over the puree and ice in each glass. You'll see the mixture begin to fizz and swirl together, creating a beautiful pink hue.
5 Gently stir each drink for about 10-15 seconds to combine the flavors without losing too much carbonation. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or delicate rose petals, if desired, and serve immediately for the best effervescence.

Tips & Notes

Honey is sweeter than sugar — if substituting, use 3/4 cup honey per 1 cup sugar and reduce liquid by 1/4 cup.
Blend smoothies from frozen fruit for a thicker, colder result without diluting with ice.
Chill the assembled dish for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
