Grapefruit Soju CocktailsRoland Bello
Soju, a favored alcoholic beverage in Korea, is generally served chilled, straight from the fridge. Soju's neutral flavor also makes it a great mixer. It's especially delicious—some might say dangerously drinkable—with tart grapefruit juice and fizzy club soda.
Cooks' note:
Grapefruit mixture, without soju, can be made 4 hours ahead and chilled. Add soju to mixture just before serving.
