Servings: 2

Ingredients

Fresh lychees: 1 cup, peeled and pitted
Ice cubes: as needed
Heavy cream: 2 tablespoons
Sparkling water: 1 cup
Lychee syrup: 4 tablespoons

Instructions

Begin by preparing the fresh lychees. Peel and pit them, then set aside.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes to chill them thoroughly.
Pour 2 tablespoons of lychee syrup into each glass, allowing the syrup to settle at the bottom for a beautiful base layer.
Slowly fill the glasses with sparkling water, leaving about an inch of space at the top to maintain the layered effect.
Gently pour 1 tablespoon of heavy cream into each glass, letting it sink slightly to create a stunning contrast with the sparkling water.
Using a long spoon or straw, stir gently to combine the ingredients without disrupting the layers too much.
Garnish with fresh lychees on a skewer or place them elegantly on the rim of each glass for that extra touch of sophistication.
Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing taste of summer!
