Instructions

Make the Lychee Rose Syrup

• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and lychee.
• Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
• Simmer 8–10 minutes, lightly mashing the lychee to release flavor.
• Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Strain out solids, then stir in rose water. Cool completely.

Assemble the Soda

• Fill a tall glass with ice.
• Add lychee rose syrup and lemon juice.
• Top with sparkling water and gently stir.
• Garnish as desired and serve immediately.

Notes

• Rose water is powerful: Start with the smaller amount and add more gradually to avoid overpowering the drink.
• Lychee texture: Lightly crushing the lychee while simmering helps release flavor without making the syrup cloudy.
• Sweetness balance: Adjust the syrup and lemon juice to suit your taste—this drink should be bright, not cloying.
• Sparkling freshness: Chill all components before assembling to keep the soda crisp and bubbly.
• Make ahead: The lychee rose syrup can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and stored refrigerated.
• Elegant garnish: Edible rose petals or a single lychee elevate presentation without adding sweetness.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use lychee syrup instead of fresh or canned lychee?
Yes, lychee syrup can be used, but reduce the added sugar since syrups are already sweetened.

Is rose water the same as rose syrup?
No. Rose water is lightly flavored and not sweet, while rose syrup is much sweeter and stronger. If using rose syrup, adjust sugar accordingly.

Can I make this into a pitcher drink?
Absolutely. Mix the lemon juice and lychee rose syrup ahead of time, then add sparkling water just before serving.

Can I turn this into a cocktail?
Yes. This soda pairs well with vodka, gin, or prosecco for an adult version.

What’s the best way to serve this for guests?
Serve chilled in clear glasses with lychee and lemon garnishes for a beautiful presentation.
