Chosun French Gimlet

2 oz soju
1.5 oz St. Germain
0.75 oz lime juice

Basically, this is a French Gimlet using soju instead of gin or vodka. I gave this a try tonight before dinner. Overall, it was good, and a little sweeter than the French Gimlet. Since I actually used 0.75 ounces of lime juice, and the drink was still sweeter than the gin version, I think I can conclude the soju really is on the sweet side.

Also, because soju is only 40 proof versus the gin which is 80 proof, the soju version doesn't pack as much of a punch. So, if you want a slightly sweeter taste and a lighter drink, substitute soju for the gin.
