Ingredients

3 cups blackberries

18 canned lychees (from one 20-ounce can), plus 3/4 cup syrup from the can

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 cups sweetened acai juice

1 cup blueberry juice cocktail

18 large blueberries

3 cups lemon-lime soda

1 cup spiced rum or gin (optional)

Directions

  1. Puree the blackberries, lychee syrup and lemon juice in a blender. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the solids with a rubber spatula. Add the acai juice and blueberry juice. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
  2. Gently push a blueberry into the cavity of each lychee. Transfer the punch to a punch bowl or pitcher and add the stuffed lychees, then gently stir in the lemon-lime soda and rum, if using. Serve over ice.

Fantastic! Made this for a Halloween party and it was so popular I had to make a second batch. It's not overly sweet or tart, refreshing. I would make it a couple of hours ahead so the lychee can take on some color. Also, I froze extra juice in big craft ice blocks: it kept the punch cold for almost 2 hours (indoors) and didn't dilute it the way ice water cubes might. Highly recommend!
