    This lychee mojito is incredibly refreshing! Fresh cucumber and mint is muddled and shaken with lychee juice and ginger syrup.

    It's pretty simple, really. Grab your cute mason jar, because  everything in a mason jar looks adorable. Throw in some cucumber chunks and fresh mint leaves and take the back of a large wooden spoon and...muddle! Press down and around, break up the cucumber and bruise the mint. The smell of the bruised mint is bright and so refreshing.

    I layered this refreshing mojito even more and made a quick ginger simple syrup to pair with the mint and cucumber. This mojito began to create levels of sweet, spicy and bright.

    I also added sweet lychee juice and topped this libation with a little pour of sparkling water. Once I took a sip and my nose tickled the fragrant mint, I was in heaven. This is..and I promise you...the best summer cocktail you will have.

      Sam, this mojito look incredible! It's my favourite drink, hands down, and I love all the twists you've put in it, especially that ginger syrup. These photos are gorgeous - I wish I had a few jars of this to sip on right now (who cares that it's only 7 am?!).
