If you’re not familiar with soju, a yogurt cocktail might seem unconventional, but in Korea and across Asia, yogurt soju is a popular choice. The simplicity of this Korean yogurt cocktail recipe is appealing, requiring only three key ingredients.
Whether found in homes or featured prominently on bar menus, this cocktail combines soju (a rice-based clear distilled liquor often compared to vodka), fruit-flavored or plain Asian yogurt drink (similar to kefir or lassi), and a carbonated soda. While Sprite or 7Up is a common choice, some variations suggest using fruit juice, especially grapefruit juice for its tangy profile. Flavored soju, such as peach, blueberry, or pomegranate, can be used as an alternative to the plain version.
Feel free to experiment with different combinations to discover your preferred taste, as it’s challenging to go wrong with these delightful Korean yogurt soju cocktails. They offer a delightful blend of sweetness and tanginess, complementing the bold flavors of Korean cuisine. However, a word of caution: the ease with which these yogurt soju cocktails go down has led to a common complaint—they’re so enjoyable that you might find yourself in high spirits sooner than expected.
