This is a Korean Pineapple Cocktail I put together with extra soju from cooking Korean Pork Belly Wraps. We’ve got a special dinner to meet Dom’s brothers girlfriend for the first time!

Korean Pineapple Soju Cocktail

Pineapple Juice

Pineapple juice is super high in vitamin c and bromelain, making it a pretty healthy juice option to add into a fun drink. This is the perfect amount of sweet and sour for this refreshing cocktail. No wonder Koreans love this drink! You can squeeze fresh pineapple juice, or you can get the bottled juice at the supermarket. Today, I’m using Woongjin’s probiotic pineapple-yogurt drink as my base. But, you can also switch things up with a different type of juice, like apple, cranberry, orange, or more.

Soju

Soju is a Korean distilled wine that’s around 12-20% alcohol. It’s a popular drink in Korea that can be made from rice, potato, tapioca, or wheat. The flavor is clean, smooth, and slightly sweet. You can drink it alone chilled, or in a cocktail like in this recipe. It also comes in a variety of fruity flavors at the supermarket. Did you know that this rice wine not just great for a yummy drink, but is also an ingredient I use sometimes with pork dishes? Adding soju to the cooking process reduces gamey flavor.

Instructions

1. Fill a tall glass completely with ice.
2. Pour in 5 oz pineapple juice.
3. Add 2.5 oz soju.
4. Top with 2.5 oz soda water.
5. Gently stir once or twice to combine without flattening the bubbles.
