Serves 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

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

Tips

  • 💡 For a fruity twist, consider adding a splash of lychee juice or a few fresh mint leaves for an added layer of flavor.
  • 💡 If you prefer a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a tropical flair.
  • 💡 To enhance the flavors, chill the sparkling water and lychee syrup beforehand.
