Print Recipe

A light, floral, and bubbly punch combining rose syrup, lychee fruit, and pink lemonade, perfect for brunches and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (960 ml) pink lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) rose syrup (e.g., Monin or Torani)
  • 1 cup (150 grams) lychee fruit (canned or fresh, drained if canned)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) sparkling water, chilled
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • A handful fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Chill all your ingredients—pink lemonade, sparkling water, and lychee—to keep the punch crisp and refreshing (approx. 10 minutes).
  2. Juice the lemons using a citrus juicer or by hand, straining out seeds to get about 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice.
  3. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour the pink lemonade and fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Add the rose syrup (1/4 cup / 60 ml) into the mixture. Stir slowly to preserve fizz. Taste and add more rose syrup if desired.
  5. Drain the lychee fruit well if canned. Gently drop them into the punch. If using fresh lychees, peel and pit them first.
  6. Right before serving, pour in the chilled sparkling water (2 cups / 480 ml) to keep bubbles lively. Stir lightly once to combine.
  7. Add ice cubes to the pitcher or directly in serving glasses as preferred.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves—slap them between your palms first to release aroma. Add a few sprigs on top.
  9. Serve immediately for best fizz and flavor. If preparing in advance, keep sparkling water and ice separate until just before serving.

Notes

Keep ingredients chilled to maintain fizz and flavor. Add sparkling water last and stir gently to preserve bubbles. Use quality rose syrup for authentic floral notes. Adjust sweetness by varying rose syrup amount. Serve immediately for best carbonation. For a tropical twist, substitute sparkling water with coconut water. For an alcoholic version, add vodka, gin, or sparkling rosé.
