This cocktail is both refreshing and delicious.

Recipe and Ingredients Alternatives

There are a several alternatives to the standard ingredients listed in this sparkling watermelon lychee cocktail.

I usually make the sparkling watermelon lychee cocktail with an alcoholic watermelon seltzer. There are non-alcoholic versions available that still have the refreshing watermelon flavor.

If watermelon seltzers are unavailable, try using a plain seltzer and watermelon juice. Just take a few seedless watermelon chunks and blend them until smooth. Add the watermelon juice to the lychee juice before adding the seltzer.

Making lychee juice at home is easy and produces the freshest results but using lychee juice from a can of lychees is the best alternative.

If you have managed to get your hands on a lot of fresh lychees, then not only can you make a batch of lychee juice, you can follow the watermelon and lychee drink with a sophisticated take on the classic martini, a lychee martini.
