The Spring Petal (Lychee & Rose Water Easter Mocktail)
A pale blush lychee and rose water mocktail — light, floral, and ready in three minutes. The softest of the three Easter drinks and the one that surprises people most.
Equipment
- 1 Glass
- 1 Cocktail picks
Ingredients
- 2 oz lychee juice from canned lychees or lychee nectar
- ¼ tsp food-grade rose water
- ½ oz fresh lime juice
- Sparkling water chilled, to top
- Ice cubes
- 1 lychee on a cocktail pick or food-grade rose petals garnish
Instructions
- Combine lychee juice, rose water, and lime juice in a glass over ice.
- Stir gently and taste — adjust with more lychee juice if too floral, more lime if too sweet.
- Top with sparkling water poured slowly down the side of the glass.
- Garnish with a single lychee on a cocktail pick or a few food-grade rose petals.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Use exactly ¼ tsp rose water — no more. Too much and the drink becomes overpowering. Must be food-grade rose water, not cosmetic. Canned lychee syrup works perfectly as the juice — just drain the can and use the liquid.
