Yobo Rita

Yobo Rita

The classic margarita uses strong tequila, while this version showcases the clean and aromatic Yobo Soju. Using soju makes this a thirst-quenching cocktail and a crowd-pleaser. A touch of citrus-tingling Sichuan pepper makes this one of the best minimalist cocktails around.

Yobo Rita

Ingredients.

  • 1½ oz Yobo Soju
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • ¾ oz Orange Liqueur
  • ¼ oz Agave or Sugar Syrup
  • 1 Tbl Sichuan Peppercorns
  • Salt rimmed glass.
  • garnish. Fresh Lime Wedge or Wheel

Directions.

Wet the outside rim of the glass with a wedge of lime. Tap into a pile of coarse salt while turning to coat as much as you want. Tap off excess. Add the peppercorns to a cocktail shaker, and crush with a muddler. Next, add the soju, lime juice, orange liqueur, and syrup to an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake for 10 seconds, and strain into a salt-rimmed glass. If on the rocks, fill with ice. Garnish with fresh lime.
