We have to stay hydrated but let’s face it, sometimes we want something more exciting than water. I’m not much of a soda drinker though so I came up with this Strawberry Lychee Lemonade. The strawberries bring the perfect sweetness, and the lychees add a fun and unexpected tropical twist. I use frozen strawberries and canned lychees so it can be enjoyed all year round. I actually like the canned lychees better than fresh because the syrup adds an intense lychee flavor. This is a very quick and easy recipe, loved by kids and adults alike, so let’s get into it!
Making Strawberry Lychee Lemonade
I start by making the simple syrup. I always make extra because it’s nice to have on hand for iced coffee, tea, or cocktails.
Strawberry Lychee Lemonade has such a nice, vibrant hue that I like to showcase it in pretty glasses and fancy it up with a garnish.
Everyone I’ve served these refreshingly fruit drinks to absolutely loves them, I can’t wait for you to try them!
