Ingredients

Instructions

Place the peeled and pitted fresh lychees in a cocktail shaker. Muddle thoroughly to release all the juice and fragrance.
Add the soju, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker. Fill with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
Strain the mixture evenly into two tall glasses filled with fresh ice, dividing the muddled lychee pulp between the glasses for added texture and visual appeal.
Top each glass with 2 oz of chilled club soda for a refreshing spritz. Stir gently to combine.
Garnish with lime wheels, a whole lychee on a skewer, and a sprig of fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately.
