Edwards Essences – Lucky Lychee

Edwards Essences Lucky Lychee is a concentrated spirit flavouring designed to create a smooth, rich and fruity lychee-style liqueur at home.

Inspired by the tropical flavours commonly enjoyed throughout the Asian region, it delivers a sweet, aromatic fruit character that works beautifully as a chilled after-dinner drink or as the base for colourful cocktails. Its smooth profile pairs especially well with citrus, pineapple, passionfruit, mango and other tropical flavours.

Each bottle is mixed with 850ml of vodka or a suitable 38% alcohol base, sugar or sweetener, and water to make approximately 1.4 litres of finished lychee-style liqueur.

Smooth Tropical Lychee Character

This flavouring creates a bright and fragrant liqueur with:

• Sweet lychee fruit notes
• A smooth, rich mouthfeel
• Tropical aroma
• Balanced sweetness
• A refreshing fruity finish

The sweetness can be adjusted by slightly increasing or reducing the amount of sugar or sweetener used. However, following the standard recipe first will provide the most consistent result.
