I guess the craft soju bong will be the next big thing.

It's about time someone tried to make Korean gasoline taste better.

"Craft" suggests small, independent, traditional to me. The article describes factory swill with fruit syrup added.

[Stan Rogers]

Perhaps, but craft soju is what they will likely call it.

Or maybe organic. Made with 100% pure Korean pear juice.

Crap t Soju

aaaaaaaaa

[yodanole]

There was lemon soju ( and other flavors ) 25 years ago. The Boone's Farm concept isn't really new ...

There are quite a few local places that do this every year with real fruit. Waste of good fruit if you ask me.

Also, there is real soju that's not factory chemical produced swill. It's a decent hard liquor between 80 and 100 proof and is horrifically overpriced. The ubiquitous green bottle half-moon bear piss that we've all come to know as soju is a bastardization of the real thing that's completely overtaken the market through cutting corners and a whole lot of corporate cronyism I'm sure.

They are way behind.

Saw a familiar green bottle, but the label read "grapefuit flavored soju." Last week. I just stared silently, trying to understand.

Craft soju will still taste like soju. Yuck.

Agreed. I had noted the fruitiness at a distance some time before now, but only upon closer inspection did I discover specifically that "grapefruit" was a chosen flavor. That particular selection put me into a trance. Given more time to reflect, now I wonder if there might be a surplus of that citrus item on the open market.
