How to Make Lychee Lime Sparkler

  1. Drain one 15-ounce can of lychees, reserving the syrup in a separate container.
  2. Set aside six lychees for garnish.
  3. Place the remaining lychees, juice from 2 limes, and 1/4 cup of sugar into a large resealable freezer bag.
  4. Gently crush the fruit with a meat mallet or rolling pin until the lychees are pulpy and the juices are released. Avoid over-crushing.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
  6. Stir in the reserved lychee syrup.
  7. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Just before serving, gently stir in the chilled sparkling wine.
  9. Pour the Lychee Lime Sparkler into chilled champagne flutes or wine glasses.
  10. Garnish each glass with a lime slice and a lychee, and serve immediately.
