Pink Lychee Rose Gin Spritz

The Pink Lychee Rose Gin Spritz is soft, floral, and refreshingly light. It mixes gin with lychee syrup and a splash of rose water or rose liqueur, then tops it off with sparkling wine and soda water. The result is a delicate, bubbly drink with a gentle sweetness and a floral finish that doesn’t overwhelm. It’s great for spring and summer get-togethers, brunches, or quiet evenings outside. Serve it over ice with a few rose petals or lychee pieces for a clean, pretty presentation. It’s simple, smooth, and perfect for when you want something that feels just a little special.

Tasting Notes

The Pink Lychee Rose Gin Spritz is a beautifully fragrant and light-bodied cocktail that blends exotic fruit with floral elegance. Muddled lychee delivers juicy, tropical sweetness, while passion fruit syrup adds tangy complexity. Elderflower rose gin brings botanical depth with delicate floral notes that harmonize with rose petals and citrus. Finished with a splash of club soda, this spritz is effervescent, subtly sweet, and refreshingly crisp. Garnished with a lemon twist and rose petals, it’s a cocktail that’s as graceful on the palate as it is visually stunning—perfect for springtime sipping, bridal showers, or garden parties.

Equipment and Glassware

To prepare this refined spritz, you’ll need a muddler for gently pressing the lychee and passion fruit syrup to extract full flavor. A jigger helps ensure accurate measurements, and a bar spoon allows for light stirring once club soda is added. Serve in a large wine glass or balloon glass filled with ice to show off the drink’s soft pink hue and garnishes. A fine mesh strainer is useful if you prefer a cleaner texture. Use a peeler for a twist of lemon and tweezers or a spoon to place rose petals delicately on top.

Ingredients

• 1½ oz elderflower rose gin
• 5 fresh lychees (pitted)
• ½ oz passion fruit syrup
• 2 oz club soda
• Garnish: lemon wheel and dried rose petals

Instructions

• In a shaker, muddle the lychees with passion fruit syrup until thoroughly broken down.
• Strain into a wine or spritz glass filled with fresh ice.
• Add 2 oz of club soda, then slowly pour in the elderflower rose gin for a layered effect.
• Finish with a twist of lemon wheel and a few edible rose petals for a romantic touch.

Pro Tips

• Use fresh, peeled lychee for the juiciest texture—canned lychee works in a pinch but may be sweeter.
• Chill all ingredients in advance to preserve bubbles and freshness.
• Use rose water-infused gin (or a blend of elderflower gin and a splash of rosewater) if you can’t find a dedicated elderflower-rose gin.
• Garnish just before serving to keep petals crisp and fragrant.
• For a showstopping touch, freeze edible flowers or lychee pieces into your ice cubes.
• Want more fizz? Add a splash of dry sparkling wine or tonic.

When to Serve

The Pink Lychee Rose Gin Spritz is ideal for spring brunches, bridal showers, Mother’s Day, afternoon tea, or any event where beauty and elegance take center stage. Its light body and effervescent charm make it perfect for daytime sipping, garden parties, or as a signature welcome cocktail at sophisticated events. Serve it when you want something floral, refreshing, and picture-perfect.
