Preparation

1. 1️⃣ Brew the jasmine tea 🍵
2. Pour hot water over the jasmine tea and steep until strong and fragrant, about 4–5 min. Stir in the sugar while warm, then let the tea cool completely before mixing. ✨
3. 2️⃣ Chill the glasses 🧊
4. Place 2 serving glasses in the fridge or fill them briefly with ice water for 5 min so the cocktail stays colder and looks sharper when poured. 🥂
5. 3️⃣ Build the shaker 🍸
6. Add the cooled jasmine tea, vodka, lychee juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake for 15–20 sec until icy cold and lightly frosted on the outside. 🍋
7. 4️⃣ Strain and top ✨
8. Fill the chilled glasses with fresh ice, then strain the cocktail mixture evenly into both glasses. Top each glass with sparkling water or prosecco for lift and sparkle. 🥂
9. 5️⃣ Garnish and serve 🌸
10. Add lychees, mint, and a lime wheel to each glass. Finish with a tiny pinch of dried jasmine flowers if using, then serve immediately while bright, cold, and sparkling. 🍈
