Hodori lychee soju: what it is and what we have

Hodori lychee soju is a fruit-flavored soju, a lighter, sweeter take on the Korean spirit. We carry Hodori's blueberry soju, and if you want the lychee, ask us at the shop on Littleton Rd, or browse the full range on our soju page.

What is Hodori lychee soju?

Soju is a clear Korean spirit, traditionally made from rice and often from other starches such as sweet potato or tapioca. Flavored versions add fruit flavor and sweetener, which makes them softer and easier to sip than the classic style.

Lychee is a tropical fruit with a floral, perfumed sweetness, a little like grape and rose together. In a flavored soju, it reads as light, sweet and fragrant rather than sharp.

Hodori is one of the flavored soju lines you will see on the shelf. We carry HODORI Blueberry Soju, so you can get a feel for how the line tastes before you hunt for another flavor.

Which flavored sojus do we carry now?

If lychee is out of reach or you want to compare, these are the flavored sojus we carry that you can look at today.

HODORI Blueberry Soju is the nearest relative, from the same brand. For something tropical-adjacent, JINRO MELON SOJU is a soft, sweet option, and Soon Hari PEACH SOJU leans floral and juicy, which is close to the lychee profile.

Others include Soon Hari STRAWBERRY SOJU, BANZAI BUNNY Yogurt Soju for a creamier, tangy take, and JINRO IS BACK SOJU.

How do you drink flavored soju?

Most people serve it well chilled, straight from the fridge or over ice, in a small glass. Because it is sweeter and lower in proof than many spirits, it sips easily, but it is still alcohol, so pace yourself.

It also mixes well. Top it with soda water or a lemon-lime soda for a long drink, or add it to a pitcher with sliced fruit. For a lychee flavor, a squeeze of lime balances the sweetness.

If you want mixers at home, see our mixers section.

What food goes with lychee soju?

Fruit-flavored soju suits food with heat, salt and fat. Korean fried chicken, grilled pork, spicy noodles and dumplings are the usual matches, since the sweetness cools the spice.

Light, fresh dishes work too. Think shrimp, cucumber salads or sushi. If you are serving a table, a few different flavors let everyone pick their own.

Is soju a spirit, a wine, or something else?

Soju is a distilled spirit, though it is usually lower in strength than vodka or whiskey, and flavored versions tend to be lower still. At our shop you will find it in the soju section under wine, alongside sake, which is a different drink brewed from rice rather than distilled.

If you like easy, lightly sweet drinks, you may also enjoy our ready-to-drink range or seltzers.
