If you have never tried a lychee cocktail before, this is your official sign. Although one of the most underrated flavors, lychee is light, juicy, and adds the perfect pop of flavor to any drink. You do not need to be an expert. With a bit of our alcohol-filled popping boba, you can transform your simple drinks into delicious and unique creations that you won’t be able to get enough of!
If this is your first time tasting lychee, you are in for a treat. Lychees are small, pink fruits with a rough exterior and are native to Southeast Asia. The inside reveals a juicy and sweet white flesh that surrounds a large brown seed. Lychees have a light, sweet, and floral taste that blends beautifully with a variety of other flavor profiles (especially when it comes to alcohol)!
Given its lightness, lychee really does pair nicely with many different combinations.
Gin’s sharp taste balances well with the sweetness of the lychee pearls and makes for a refreshing twist on many classic recipes.
Vodka can allow for a clean and floral sip, well-suited for the grain spirit base in the boba juice.
Rum and lychee are a tropical dream team and our POPS will add an unexpected twist that will really make you feel like you are in paradise.
Tequila’s bold flavors pair well with lychee as the boba will soften the drink a bit while adding a light, sweet, and exotic twist.
There is no wrong way to mix with our boba, just pop it in your favorite drink!
Bobatinis are a great and familiar way to introduce yourself to the elegant lychee notes. For additional drinks that will melt your taste buds, check out our Lychee Cosmopolitan and Boba Tea recipes.

Lychee cocktails taste best when they are ice-cold, so be sure to freeze your glassware ahead of time for the best results. Whether you are hosting a party, or just want to enjoy some fancy cocktails on your own, the food pairings can make all the difference.
Consider serving, or indulging in, your lychee cocktails with lighter appetizers as well. Think spring rolls, sushi, or a cheese and fruit platter. Try to stay away from strong flavors that will clash with the lychee’s floral notes.
Finally, do not forget to garnish! Fresh mint leaves, edible flowers, or even a citrus slice can elevate the lychee flavor. Garnishes also just look good, take advantage of that! Whether you want to impress your guests or just want to share your creations on social media, a pretty garnish paired with our colorful boba is sure to turn a few heads.
There are many different ways you can use our lychee Boba POPS, don’t be afraid to experiment and show off what you come up with. Drinks are meant to be shared, and we would love to see them!
