Summer time is perfect to dine outdoors, I
adore the smell of the barbecue in the summer heat, the sound of the crackling
coals as they burn and the breeze from the trees makes it an idyllic evening. I
relish sitting in the garden in the evenings with a cooling mocktail just
enjoying the evening as the sun goes down.
I particularly like tropical flavours in my mocktails and pairing them with seasonal berries is a trick I learnt many years ago. The Sweetness from the lychee and the tang from the blueberries makes Lychee and Berry Cooler a really refreshing mocktail.

This is a fantastic idea! I've never heard of this drink before and not being much of a drinker, it would be perfect for me to sip at our next BBQ!

I hadn't tried lychee juice until recently when I was given a free taste in a shopping centre. I couldn't believe what I'd been missing out on all this time. Your mocktail looks and sounds so very refreshing and delicious.

A refreshing and gorgeous looking recipe! I love the tumbler and it's little spoon holder on the side!
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche
I think lychees are my favourite fruit ever, but they're always so hard to find in the shops, so I love the idea of using lychee juice in this instead! Will keep my eyes peeled for that.

In the summer I love anything that's fruity and cold, especially when it's a mocktail!

I had something similar to this in Thailand, but it was with fresh Lychee juice rather than bottled stuff 🙂 It certainly makes a delicious flavour
