Notes

  • If using sugar instead of syrup, try adding 1 tsp per glass up to 1 Tbs if you like a sweeter drink.
  • Tips for making a BIG BATCH for parties - Make a pre-mix of the soju, syrup (or sugar), lime juice in a pitcher and then just muddle the mint leaves in each cup with a splash of the soju mix, add ice and then top with some clud soda. Garnish with some lime or mint leaves and it will be a hit at your party!!
  • Skip making simple syrup and use Maesil Cheong Syrup that you can buy online or make one yourself!
  • Try adding a splash of stronger ABV liquor like Andong Soju or Hwayo to give it an extra kick!
