Lychee Rose Mojito - Lychee Juice with a twist

Hi Foodies,

Lychee Rose Mojito is a an easy to make and simple beverage. I have given the usual Lychee Juice, a slight twist of my own. It is super refreshing and cools down your body. This Lychee Rose Mojito is just that subtle, sweet something you always wanted to linger over on a Summer evening.

Like Mangoes, Lychee is another juicy fruit which makes appearance in Summers. The usual Lychee Juice looks plain in presentation and this is what popped the idea in my head to give it a tweak. I have used Rose syrup to bring the colour of the drink alive! So, lets get started.

The food photography you see here, was done with a concept in mind. I wanted to portray a lotus amidst the pond. Its always fun to play with presentation. Let me know how you like it in the comments section below.

I hope you guys try making this before the season ends! By now, I'm sure you know that I like colours in my beverages, as you saw for Buttermilk. At Savour with Sakshi, I'll keep sharing more exciting recipes with you. Stay tuned!
