Yobo Drinks has introduced the first American-made craft soju originating from California, Yobo Soju Luxe. Yobo Soju Luxe is distilled using rice, wheat, and grapes grown in the sunny state. The alcoholic beverage will be available in U.S. restaurants, bars, and stores.
The Yobo Soju Luxe relies on hints of apricot and vanilla for a sweet, floral taste. The unique formula makes it entirely different from the South Korean brand, delivering an elevated experience for all soju-connoisseurs. The soju is measured at 36 calories per ounce and 23% ABV.
"We created the first Yobo to pay homage to our roots and create a uniquely Korean-American soju," says founder Carolyn Kim. Yobo Soju Luxe is now available on the Yobo Soju website.
