Far East Dragon

Far East Dragon

The taste is pretty delicate, but in case it comes a bit too sweet for you, just cut the liqueurs proportions and increase the amount of the Soju. Or you may use a stronger variant of Soju, if available - they go up to 45% ABV.

History

Soju is the top selling alcoholic beverage in the world for the time being (check Wikipedia). It's alcohol contents vary in a pretty wide range, but I made this cocktail with what I had available - Jinro Soju 24% ABV.

The idea of the mix is that it unifies in a way the three most prominent countries in the Far East: Korea (the Soju), Japan (Midori - it must be Midori for this cocktail, no other melon liqueurs allowed) and China (the lychee liqueur - not a famous brand, but with certain origin).
