Looking for a fruity sip with the perfect touch of sweetness? Lychee liqueur is the answer and we’ve put a selection of Australia’s favourites in one spot for you.

But first …

What is lychee liqueur?

A fragrant and subtly sweet spirit, lychee liqueur celebrates the unmistakable flavour of the fruit. It has a beautiful aroma and works just as beautifully on its own over ice as it does in mixed drinks and cocktails.

In terms of alcohol volume, lychee liqueur tends to be slightly lower than mainstream spirits like vodka and gin, making it great for those who are after a lighter drink that they can sip and savour.

For example:

• Aubrey Lychee Liqueur: 17%
• Soho Lychee Spirit: 21%
• Smirnoff Red Label Vodka: 37%
