Notes
Preparation
To batch this drink for a crowd, add 12 mint leaves to a pitcher with six ounces of lychee syrup or simple syrup and muddle. Fill the pitcher halfway with ice, then pour in three ounces of lime juice, eight ounces of rum, and 12 ounces of club soda and stir until chilled. Serve over fresh ice with lychee fruits.
Modifications
Use frozen lychees to help keep your cocktail cold without watering it down!
Club soda is just (artificially) sparkling water with added minerals, so you can substitute with sparkling water or mineral water if needed. To get that crispness of club soda, add a pinch of sea salt and baking soda!
Lime juice is a classic mojito ingredient, best from fresh-squeezed limes, but you can use concentrated lime juice or even other citrus juices, including sour orange and lemon, in a pinch.
Toss all the ingredients into a blender (with a lil' extra ice) to turn this into a blended lychee-jito drink.
Use a zero-proof rum spirit alternative to make this a non-alcoholic mojito.
