These easy-to-make soju cocktails are packed with flavor, so be ready to receive compliments from friends and family when you serve these concoctions.

1. Yogurt Soju (Yakult + Soju + Chilsung Cider)

A classic! Sure, Yakult might be known as a kids drink, but boy does it partner well with Soju. You can simply mix Yakult and Soju together, but the Koreans mix in what they call 'Chilsung Cider' (their version of Sprite) for the no-fail easy-to-make cocktail.

Mixture:

50% Chilsung Cider or Sprite
25% Yakult
25% Soju

2. Pineapple Soju (Pineapple + Soju + Sprite)

Looking for a refreshing alcoholic beverage on a hot day? Grab some pineapple juice, Sprite, and Soju and you're ready for your next e-numan! Make sure to pop in some ice cubes, too!

Mixture:

50% Pineapple Juice
30% Soju
20% Sprite

3. Cojinganmek (Cola + Soju + Beer)

You might have heard of the somaek (soju + beer), but this one's an upgrade to try. Meet your new go-to mixture – cojinganmak! This concoction contains two different shots – soju and coke – stacked inside a cup of beer. The drink starts of with the taste of beer and soju, and ends with the refreshing sweetness of coke. Be careful – the sweetness of the coke disguises how potent this drink actually is!

10% Shot of Coke
10% Shot of Soju
90% Cup of Beer

4. Ujjujju Melony (Melona + Soju + Chilsung Cider)

For a creamy kick, you only need three ingredients. Melona is a popular ice-cream in Korea that can be found in many convenient stores. Simply pour a yourself a cup of soju with cider, and stir a Melona bar in until it dissolves. The Melona keeps your soju cold and turns your drink into a milkshake.

Melona comes in 4 different flavours: banana, honeydew, mango and strawberry. Pick your flavour and start stirring!
