Soju is a clear, colorless distilled beverage native to Korea. Often compared to vodka due to its universal pairing and neutral flavor, it has a smooth finish with a slight sweetness. Although traditionally made from rice, modern-day Soju can also be produced from starches like potatoes and wheat.
Available in different variations with alcohol content ranging from 16.8% to 53%, Soju's versatile nature makes it a fantastic addition to cocktail recipes. The mild flavor allows it to mix well with a range of ingredients, yet it's delightful to be sipped straight, retaining its traditional essence.
