Lychee Moonrise

Perfect for midnight chats, gentle music, and slow summer nights

About the Recipe

One late summer night, I opened a can of lychees on impulse and stirred the syrup into a cocktail. It was soft, floral, and just sweet enough to carry me into the quiet hours. Think moonlight, not spotlight.
