Today I’ll be showing you guys how to make my super Refreshing Lychee Sunrise Mocktail. It’s a show stopping drink that you only need 4 ingredients to make, one of which is ice- literally so simple.
4 Ingredients For Refreshing Lychee Sunrise Mocktail
Ice
Pick up a bag of ice from your local supermarket or freeze it yourself at home, it doesn’t really matter. The only thing I would say is, the smaller the ice cubes, the better the gradient you’ll have in your drink. Crushed ice definitely gives the best result so if you can pick that up, definitely do.
Orange juice
Good quality orange juice is key! I’ve tried making this recipe with the carton supermarket own brand orange juice and the final result was always a bitty mocktail. Not pleasant! I’d recommend using either Innocent smooth or Tropicana smooth orange juice.
Lychee juice
The same goes for the lychee juice, my favourite to use is Rubicon’s Lychee juice.
Grenadine
The final ingredient and most crucial is the grenadine syrup, this is what gives the Lychee Sunrise Mocktail the iconic sunrise look!
Quantities Of Refreshing Lychee Sunrise
If I’m completely honest you could eye ball the juices and grenadine, the result wouldn’t be bad at all. I mean you can’t really go wrong with a mix of juices and ice! My quantities are for a 20oz glass, which is equivalent to just under 600ml. Obviously if you use a bigger or smaller glass these quantities will have to be adjusted.
If you want to be meticulous, just remember to fill 1/4 of the glass up with ice, use equal parts orange and lychee juice and finish with about two tablespoons of grenadine syrup.
Garnish
This bit is entirely optional but I feel like it adds that extra little something to my Lychee Sunrise Mocktails! I made my garnish using a wooden skewer which I cut to size (a cocktail stick was too short) and skewered on one peeled lychee and a segment of orange. It makes the drink look so professional!
Warning: de-stoning a lychee is more difficult than it looks, please be very careful to not cut your fingers when doing it!
