Bacanha Litchi (Lychee) Syrup
Bacanha Brut Litchi captures the soft, juicy character of lychee in an organic syrup that is fragrant, lightly floral and refreshingly bright. The fruit has a naturally delicate sweetness, and Bacanha keeps that character intact rather than pushing it toward something overly candied. It’s an easy way to bring an exotic fruit note to sparkling drinks, iced tea and cocktails.
Made in France with organic pure cane sugar, water, natural lychee flavor and citric acid, the 400ml bottle is concentrated and designed for roughly 20 drinks. Bacanha particularly recommends pairing it with rose, which makes sense given lychee’s naturally floral character.
Why We Love It
Lychee brings fruit and florals at the same time, which makes this syrup especially useful when you want something a little more interesting than straightforward berry or citrus. It plays beautifully with lime, rose, ginger and bubbles, and a small amount adds plenty of personality without taking over the entire drink.
Try It With
Lychee Spritz: add ¾ oz Bacanha Brut Litchi and ½ oz fresh lime juice to a wine glass filled with ice. Top with non-alcoholic sparkling wine and a splash of sparkling water.
