Lychee and lemongrass mocktail is the perfect non-alcoholic beverage to elevate any gathering with its exotic and refreshing flavors. This delightful drink blends the sweet, floral notes of lychee with the bright, citrusy aroma of lemongrass, creating a beverage that is both fragrant and invigorating. It’s light, crisp, and perfect for those who want a sophisticated mocktail that’s as refreshing as it is unique.
Lychee, with its juicy, sweet flesh, adds a luscious tropical flavor that pairs beautifully with the subtle, herbaceous quality of lemongrass. The lemongrass not only brings a refreshing citrus zing but also infuses the drink with a depth of flavor that makes every sip feel special. When muddled or infused with syrup, lemongrass offers just the right amount of zest to balance the sweetness of the lychee.
To make this mocktail, lychee juice or fresh lychees are combined with lemongrass syrup and a splash of soda water for some effervescence. The soda water adds a bubbly freshness that lifts the drink without overpowering the delicate flavors. You can garnish with a sprig of lemongrass or a few whole lychees to give the mocktail an extra touch of elegance and visual appeal.
Lychee and lemongrass mocktail is the perfect drink for a warm day, outdoor gatherings, or even a cozy evening at home. It’s a great choice for those who want something a little more exciting than water or traditional soda, while still keeping things light and refreshing. The balance of sweet, floral, and citrus flavors makes it a crowd-pleasing choice that is sure to impress.
Best of all, this mocktail is completely customizable. Add more or less sweetness to suit your taste, or experiment by adding a splash of lime juice for a little extra zing. Whether you’re serving it at a party or enjoying it by yourself, lychee and lemongrass mocktail is an exotic, rejuvenating drink that will quickly become a favorite.

Lychees are the best fruit. Never tried in drink before but now, wow! Making this all summer long.
Yum! The lychees are so sweet, but what is lemongrass? Is it necessary?
Not bad, but I was expecting more flavor. I think I’ll add some mint next time.
Omg, this is LIFE! I added some mint and it was even better! Gonna make it again.
Who drinks lemongrass?! This is bizarre.
Quick & easy. Great for kids too! My son loved it, made him feel fancy at dinner. 😄
That sounds delicious! I’m gonna try this for my kids’ party. Thanks for sharing! 😊
This looks fancy! Can I use something else if lemongrass isn’t available?
Lychee in syrup? Is that a thing? I thought they were fresh fruits. Doesn’t sound right to me.
Really didn’t like the taste, it was way too sweet for my liking. I think I’ll stick to water.
Simple and delicious! I made it for my friends, and they loved it! 🍹
I’m not a fan of lemongrass. The taste was too strong for my liking.
Lemongrass is pretty strong, but it pairs well with lychee! Maybe don’t use as much next time.
Have you tried using less lemongrass? It might tone down the flavor! I love this mocktail.
Why club soda? Can I use ginger ale? Sounds good but kinda confusing.
I didn’t have club soda, so I used sprite instead. Still tasty!
This mocktail is incredibly refreshing! The lemongrass gives it a unique twist. Definitely a hit at my summer party!
This mocktail is a whole vibe! Refreshing and perfect for summer! 🌞
This was too complicated for me. I just wanted something easy to drink. I ended up with a mess!
