Description
A refreshing and easy-to-make Korean cocktail combining the smooth taste of Soju with the sweet and tangy flavor of Yakult.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (360ml) Soju (Korean rice wine)
- 5 bottles (65ml each) Yakult (probiotic drink)
- Ice cubes (as much as you like)
- Optional: Lemon or lime wedges for garnish
- Optional: Sparkling water or club soda
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large pitcher, pour the entire bottle of Soju. Add all five bottles of Yakult. Gently stir until well combined, avoiding excessive foam.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the ratio of Soju to Yakult to your preference. Add more Yakult if too strong, or a splash more Soju for a stronger kick (be careful!).
- Add Ice and Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the Soju Yakult mixture into the glasses, leaving room at the top.
- Optional Fizz: Top off each glass with a splash of sparkling water or club soda.
- Optional Garnish: Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge. Squeeze the wedge over the drink before dropping it in.
- Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!
Notes
- Fruity Flavors: Add a splash of fruit juice, such as strawberry, mango, or pineapple juice, for a fruity twist.
- Frozen Delight: Blend the Soju, Yakult, and ice together in a blender for a frozen Soju Yakult slushie.
- Yogurt Power: For a creamier texture, substitute some of the Yakult with plain yogurt.
- Tea Time: Infuse the Soju with tea bags (like green tea or jasmine tea) for a unique flavor profile.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of ginger or a dash of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
- Sweeten the Deal: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a little simple syrup or honey to taste.
- Garnish Galore: Get creative with your garnishes! Try adding fresh berries, mint leaves, or even edible flowers.
- Too Sweet: If the cocktail is too sweet, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to balance the flavors.
- Not Sweet Enough: If the cocktail is not sweet enough, add a little simple syrup, honey, or agave nectar to taste.
- Too Strong: If the cocktail is too strong, add more Yakult or sparkling water to dilute the alcohol.
- Not Strong Enough: If the cocktail is not strong enough, add a splash more Soju (but be careful!).
- Too Foamy: If the cocktail is too foamy, avoid stirring too vigorously. Gently stir the Soju and Yakult together until they are just combined.
- Making it Non-Alcoholic: If you want to enjoy this drink without the alcohol, you can substitute the Soju with sparkling water, club soda, or even a non-alcoholic rice wine.
