Ingredients

10 lychees
1 handful mint leaves
1 can soda
2 tbsp golden syrup
1 tbsp lime juice
100 ml water

Instructions

Pour the golden syrup into a serving glass. This creates a lightly sweet base for the drink.
Add the lychees and pour in the fresh lime juice. The lime helps balance the sweetness and brightens the flavor.
Slowly pour in the chilled soda water. This keeps the bubbles fresh and gives the drink its light, fizzy texture.
Add ice cubes, lightly crushed mint leaves, and lime slices for garnish. Serve immediately while it’s cold and bubbly.

Notes

Use chilled soda water - Cold soda keeps the drink extra refreshing and helps maintain the fizz longer.
Pour the soda water slowly - Adding it gently prevents the bubbles from disappearing too quickly, so your drink stays light and sparkling.
Lightly crush the mint leaves - Give the mint a gentle press before adding it to release its aroma—this makes a big difference in flavor.
Adjust the sweetness to your taste - Lychee can vary in sweetness, especially if using canned fruit. Start with less syrup, then add more if needed.
Serve immediately - This drink is best enjoyed right after mixing while it’s cold, fizzy, and at its most refreshing.
Use plenty of ice - Ice keeps the drink crisp and slightly dilutes it over time, balancing the sweetness perfectly.
