Lychee Mojito

Hey folks – how are you doing?! I hope this week has been treating you well, and you are now ready to enjoy your weekend.

We are in the midst of heat wave (which should be over on Friday), so I am REALLY keeping it short and sweet today. I don’t know how about you, but I do not tolerate well any hot any humid situation. I always feel sleepy, sluggish, and not so much into blogging!

And that is also the reason I am posting already third cocktail idea in the row, following Vanilla Rose Empress 1908 Cocktail and Lavender Gin Silver Fizz. While I love to alternate recipes I share (for the sake of variety), this heat is just to much for me to be creative LOL. This recipe and photos are also from 2022; another one down – yay!

Lychee Mojito

Andrew and I do love a good mojito (or better few!), especially on a warm summer day or afternoon. I’ve got quite a few variations on the Havoc in the Kitchen, and I am going to keep trying different flavours for sure.

This Lychee Mojito was inspired by my fellow food blogger Michelle (from Sift and Simmer) who posted a recipe for Homemade Lychee Syrup a few years back which sounded super exciting. And of course, a mojito was on my agenda. And I must say that if you like different infused syrups, you should add this syrup to your repertoire. It goes so well in drinks, desserts, or even simply over your ice cream.

If you do not have or do not want to make lychee syrup, you can use lychee juice or concentrate instead. Other ingredients include white rum, lime, mint, ice, and sparkling water (if desired).

    I love almost all Mojitos, and lychee really sounds super delicious. I live in a perfect part of the country to enjoy mojitos almost all year round-Hot, sunny and humid Florida.

    Your mojito rocks!
