There's nothing like a fruity, fizzy drink to quench that summertime thirst.
This Raspberry Lychee Fizz is one of my new favorites and features a homemade Lychee Syrup, and based on my refreshing Lychee Soda.
Why you'll love this recipe
Non-alcoholic: it's made with fresh raspberries and lychees, which makes it the perfect summertime drink.
Adaptable: you can change the type of berries and it will taste just as good.
Easy to make: you can whip up this drink easily in a matter of minutes.
Ingredients you'll need
- fresh raspberries: rinsed and drained; you could use frozen in place of fresh
- fresh lychees: peeled; you can use canned lychees, drained
- ice
- sparkling/soda water: or carbonated water
- homemade lychee syrup: I highly recommend making your own lychee syrup; you can use the ones that come from canned lychees if you're in a pinch, but it won't taste as good
Special equipment you'll need
- high-powered blender: to blend together the raspberries and lychees
How to make it
Blend the raspberries and lychee together in a blender, until smooth.
Pour 1-2 tablespoon of lychee syrup into a tall glass (or to taste).
Add 4 tablespoon of the raspberry-lychee puree to the glass.
Add ice cubes to the glass.
Top the glass off with sparkling water.
Stick in a straw, give it a stir and enjoy immediately.
Flavor variations
For a floral variation, add ¼ teaspoon rose water or rose syrup.
Try substituting the raspberries and make a variation with blackberries (and yuzu) or strawberries.
Add sakura/cherry blossom flower syrup to make a sakura lychee fizz.
FAQs

Michelle this is super refreshing. As you probably already know we are huge lychee and rambutan lovers. the mix of the slightly sour and floral raspberries with the lychees is delightful. a great way to cool off on these hot and steamy days.

Thanks so much Bobbi! I always look forward to enjoying lychee and rambutan during the summer months!
