  • 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz lychee puree

  • Splash of rose water
  • club soda

Notes

Variation tip:

This could be served straight up, or in a Collins glass with a club soda topper. As for the rose water, I like to put it in an atomizer (spray bottle) and spritz the inside of the glass before pouring in the drink. During the summer, I sometimes find fresh lychee in Asian supermarkets. During off-seasons, you can find lychees in a jar for garnish. Otherwise, a lime wheel looks great.

Chef’s tip:

Here is the quick recipe for homemade grenadine: 1:1 POM juice to sugar dissolved with a splash of orange blossom water.
