Ingredients
 

  • 2 oz Soju
  • 1 oz blue curaçao
  • 4 oz lemon-lime soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slice or twist - for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Highball Glass
  • Measuring Jigger
  • Stirrer or Bar Spoon

Instructions

  • Prep Glass: Fill your highball glass with ice cubes.
  • Add Soju: Pour 2 oz Soju over the ice.
  • Add Blue Curaçao: Measure and pour 1 oz blue curaçao into the glass.
  • Add Lemon-Lime Soda: Top off with 4 oz lemon-lime soda.
  • Stir Gently: Use a bar spoon to stir the ingredients gently.
  • Garnish: Place a lemon slice or twist into the glass for garnish.

Notes

Substitutes:

  • Soju: If you don't have Soju, you can use vodka as an alternative. It changes the flavor slightly but still works well in this cocktail.
  • Blue curaçao: Triple sec with a few drops of blue food coloring can replace Blue curaçao if needed. It keeps the citrus flavor intact.
  • Lemon-lime Soda: You can use club soda with a splash of lime juice and simple syrup if you prefer a less sweet option.

Making it Non-Alcoholic:

  • Soju Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic spirit that mimics Soju's flavor profile. These are available and do an excellent job of replicating the taste.
  • Blue curaçao Substitute: Opt for a non-alcoholic blue syrup or make a simple syrup infused with orange peel and blue food coloring.
  • Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes instead of the regular ingredients, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.

Making it Vegan:

  • Check Ingredients: Ensure that all your ingredients are vegan-friendly. Most commercial Sojus are vegan, but always check labels to be sure.
  • Vegan Lemon-lime Soda: Use a vegan-certified lemon-lime soda to ensure no animal-derived ingredients are present.
  • Proceed As Usual: Follow the original steps using these vegan-friendly ingredients to enjoy a vegan version of Soju Blue.
