You've gotta experience this non-alcoholic tropical drink. It'll take you to The Islands!
2 cups Melissa’s Lychees, peeled, seeded, halved
1/2 cup coconut water
1 lime
1/2 ounce basil simple syrup (recipe below)
Ice
Lime wheels (slices) for garnish
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh basil, loosely packed
In a saucepan, add the water and sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the basil and steep for 2 minutes. Remove and discard the basil. Allow to cool.
Place the lychees, coconut water, juice from the lime and the basil simple syrup in a blender and process for 30 seconds. Pour over glasses filled with ice and garnish with the lime wheels.
The Basil Simple Syrup can be prepared and refrigerated in a sealed container. It will keep up to one week.
