Instead of the beautiful purple color depicted in the picture, my cocktail turned out to be dirty grayish dark blue. Might have been a problem with my lychee drink which was quite pulpy or then this should need a tad more grenadine.

Its a good cocktail, but I would prefer a more forward lychee taste; I may try adding some kwa fei

Flavour is nice and looked attractive but way too syrupy for me

Agreed. The recipe should have said lychee juice rather than lychee syrup. Thanks to your comment, now corrected.
