Description

Pear syrup gives this soju highball a ripe, gently floral sweetness. Lime pulls it into sharper focus, then ginger leaves a little warmth as the soda clears the palate. The light spirit lets the pear register first, which is what sets it apart from a straightforward ginger cooler.

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Soju
  • 20 ml Pear syrup
  • 20 ml lime juice
  • 10 ml ginger cordial
  • Soda Water to top

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Bottle Opener – Useful if the serve uses bottled soda, ginger beer or sparkling wine.

Instructions

  1. Add the spirit, citrus and flavouring ingredients to a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake briefly until the base is cold.
  3. Strain into the serving glass filled with fresh ice.
