Ingredients

2 oz. soju
2 oz. Yakult
3-4 oz. Sprite or 7-Up or fizzy drink of choice Powerade is weirdly popular to use in Korea

Instructions

Fill your cup to the top with cubed ice. Then measure out 2oz. of Yakult (or you can use the whole 2.7oz. container for a sweeter, creamier Yakult cocktail) and pour it over the ice.
Measure out 2oz. of soju (¼ cup or two shots) into the glass, and stir the soju and Yakult together.
Either measure or just pour your soda to the top of the glass, then lightly stir everything together (don’t shake or the soda will lose its fizz).

Notes

Swap for Yakult: if you can't get your hands on or don't have time to pick up some Yakult, you could use any flavor of Calpis, kefir, or a combination of thinned-out yogurt and some simple syrup (though either swap will change the overall flavor of your soju yogurt drink).

No Sprite, No Problem: even if you can't get your hands on Sprite, never fear, because you can use any sweet fizzy drink as a swap for the Sprite, though lemon-lime is the standard flavor combo. However in Korea, the local version of Powerade is another popular swap, or even lemonade.

Using Flavored Soju: if you decide to use a flavored soju rather than plain, note that it will make your drink sweeter and more flavorful, but it will also lower the alcohol content by about 40%.
