Watermelon Mint Soju Cocktail Recipe By Tasty Recipes

WATERMELON MINT SOJU COCKTAIL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut ⅛-¼ inch (3 mm-6mm) off of one end of the watermelon to make a flat surface. Set the watermelon upright and cut off the top to expose the flesh. Scoop out the flesh with a large spoon into a large bowl. Make sure to not go all the way through the bottom of the watermelon-this will be your serving vessel.
• Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a standing blender) to blend the watermelon flesh for 1 minute, until smooth. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean large bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp. You should have about 4 cups (960 ml).
• Thinly slice the mint leaves, then add to the watermelon juice, along with the soju, and stir to combine.
• Pour the watermelon soju mixture into the hollowed-out watermelon shell (reserve any leftovers in the refrigerator until ready to refill, or for a later use) and fill the rest of the way with the ice. Garnish with more mint leaves, if desired. Serve cold.
• Enjoy!

SOJU LEMONGRASS POMEGRANATE COCKTAIL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the lemongrass simple syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cold water, sugar, and lemongrass stalks. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar is dissolved, 5-7 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the syrup cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to let the lemongrass infuse the syrup. After infusing, remove the lemongrass stalks and discard.
• To make the cocktail, combine the soju, pomegranate juice, lime juice, and lemongrass simple syrup in a 3-quart pitcher. Stir well to combine.
• Add the ice to the pitcher just before serving. Stir well.
• Pour the cocktail into glasses filled with more ice and serve.
• Enjoy!
