Lychee Sangria
This lychee sangria is a winner. Easy to make and super refreshing, it is destined to be a party favorite. It smells wonderful, tastes great, and is an ideal beverage to sip on during warm summer nights.Yield: about 1 liter
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 750 ml bottle Sauvignon Blanc
- ½ cup St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
- 20 oz canned lychee in heavy syrup, drain but reserve syrup
- ¾ cup reserved lychee syrup
- 2 limes, sliced thin
- fresh lychee, to garnish
Instructions
- In a large pitcher combine Sauvignon Blanc, St. Germain, drained lychees, ¾ cup reserved lychee syrup and thinly sliced limes. Cover and let chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to infuse. (Allowing sangria to chill overnight is best.)
- Stir before serving. Serve chilled, with ice if desired. Garnish with fresh lychees.
Notes
- Look for canned lychee with minimal ingredients. It should just be: lychees, water, sugar.
- Fresh lychees are available at Asian supermarkets. They are often at Trader Joe's- however they will be twice as expensive.
