We've talked about Korean sojus here before, and even sang the praises of a strangely
flavored "herbal" soju (the herb was ginseng). Now I am no stranger to the Korean spirit distilled from
sweet potatoes (many a night and morning battling the stuff), and I am certainly familiar with mixing soju with
different flavors to make the stuff that tastes like pure lighter fluid a little more palatable: strawberry soju
(ddahl-ghee), peach soju (bohk-soong-ha), yogurt soju (yo-gu-rut), and even cucumber soju (oi).
I just tried a melon version at a cafe in LA's Koreatown and it was horrible. It was neon green, and tasted like a melon flavored body wash. I don't even know what "melon" flavored liquid they used to make it, but if ever you go out for a night on the K-town, stick with the originals.

robyn: you just made me laugh out loud...i swear i think i have a windex cocktail, but it was made with galliano!
