Add equal amounts of water and sugar to a saucepan and bring it to the boil

Once it's bubbling, add a handful of chopped ginger and take the pot off the heat, allowing it to cool

Strain the ginger from the liquid, and, voila, you've made ginger syrup

The rest of the Lychee Mojito process is easy:Take an ice-filled cocktail shaker and gently muddle some tinned lychees, lime and mint

Throw in a shot of good-quality white rum and a dash of gin

Pour over a small amount of lychee juice you've reserved from the can

Finally, add some of your ginger syrup, and give the tin a shake

Strain the contents of the shaker into a tall glass filled with crushed ice and top up with Schweppes Soda Water
