Christmas Cocktail: Lychee And Mint Muddle
December 23, 2011

This refreshing lychee cocktail has so many uses: try it with canapés, as the base of a fruit punch, in a frappe or as a mocktail without the sparkling wine!
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp honey or caster sugar
20 fresh lychees, peeled and deseeded
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup of ice
750ml bottle of sparking wine, or lemonade for mocktails
Method:
Blend honey/sugar, 10 lychees with mint leaves and ice. Place into a large jug and top with sparkling wine (or lemonade if using). Halve remaining lychees and add to the mix. Serve in chilled glasses.
To make a frappe, place honey/sugar, 15 lychees, mint and 2 cups of ice in a blender for 1 minutes. Pour into a large jug and top with lemonade or sparkling wine.
