Pour 1.5 ounces (44ml) of St. Germain elderflower liqueur into each chilled champagne flute.
Top each flute with 4 ounces (118ml) of chilled Champagne.
Garnish each cocktail with one fresh lychee, or a few lychee slices.
Optional: Add a splash (approximately 1/2 ounce or 15ml) of lychee juice from canned lychees for extra sweetness. If using canned lychees, rinse them well before using to remove excess syrup.
