Questions

Can I make Soju Yogurt Cocktail without alcohol?

The alcohol here is 8 oz soju (Korean rice liquor), chilled. Replace a base spirit with the same volume of a zero-proof spirit, or with chilled tea or tonic for bite; replace sparkling wine with sparkling water and a squeeze of citrus. Keep every other line as written, and expect a lighter, sweeter drink, since alcohol also carries bitterness and body.

Can I make Soju Yogurt Cocktail dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Soju Yogurt Cocktail is 4 bottles Yakult or Calpico yogurt drink, chilled. Swap the yogurt for an unsweetened coconut or soy yogurt. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How many calories are in Soju Yogurt Cocktail?

One serving (the recipe makes 2) is about 180 calories, with 4 g protein, 26 g carbohydrate and 3 g fat, plus 50 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I batch Soju Yogurt Cocktail for a group?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Halved, the soju drops from 8 oz to 4 oz; doubled, it is 16 oz. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To batch it for a crowd, multiply everything but add the ice only when serving.
