Soju has been the world's largest selling spirt for the last decade. Sojo is clear and colourless and traditionally made from grains of rice, wheat or barley. Sadly many of the modern producers replace rice with other starches such as potato or sweet potato.
Master the art of making your own simple soju cocktails at home with ingredients you might have at home or your local Korean food shop.
Soju Melona
A mix of my favourite Korean ice cream with Korea's favourite drink
Require:
1 bottle Soju
1 can Sprite
2 Melona Popsicles
Some ice
Blend this all together until it reaches a slushie consistency.
Soju Bomb
For those looking for a sweeter tase than straight soju try mixing two favourites, beer and soju, Soju bombs, or somaek as it's called in Korea. This could become your favourite.
Require:
2 shots of soju
Half a glass of beer
Soju Makgeolli
Two of Korea's traditional drinks combined to create that feeling of being in Seoul
Require:
2 shots Soju
3 shots Makgeolli
Ice cubes
Apple slices & cubes
Soju Cider
The freshest and simplest drink you can ask for this summer.
Require:
2 shots Soju
250ml sparkling apple cider
Ice cubes
Your choice of fruit (apricot, plum, pear, apple, etc)
You can chop your fruit and freeze them in an ice cube tray.
