- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- Whole lychees (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the lychees with lychee syrup until fragrant and juicy.

3. Fill the shaker with ice, seal, and shake for 10–15 seconds.

Notes
Chill your glasses for a colder, more refreshing drink.
Add the sparkling water last to preserve fizz.
Use large ice cubes to keep the drink cold without watering it down.
Try flavored sparkling waters like grapefruit or lemon-lime for a twist.
