Southside Cooler

This is a hybrid of a mojito and southside: one a gin-based cocktail, the other a rum. The cocktails are bright, sweet, sour, and refreshing in either case. I brought both together with Soju and a touch of plum wine to create the ultimate, fruity highball.

Ingredients.

2 oz Yobo Soju
¾ oz Umeshu
¾ oz Lime Juice
½ oz Simple Syrup
4 - 6 Mint Leaves
3 oz Soda Water

garnish. Fresh Mint

glass. Collins/Highball

Directions.

Add the soju, syrup, lime, umeshu, and mint leaves to an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake for 10 seconds, and strain into an ice-filled collins glass. Top gently with soda water, and stir softly. Garnish with a fresh mint bouquet.
