At \u003cstrong\u003e12% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is light, slightly sweet, and built around apple, honey, and pear rather than alcohol heat — the kind of bottle meant to be served cold and shared rather than slowly analyzed like a higher-proof spirit. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess \u0026amp; Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoonhari is produced in Korea as part of LOTTE Chilsung Beverage’s flavored-soju range, a lineup the brand describes as the \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal flavored soju\u003c\/strong\u003e concept. The Apple expression starts with alcohol distilled from \u003cstrong\u003egrain and tapioca\u003c\/strong\u003e, then combines it with water, citric acid, apple flavors, actual apple juice, and sweeteners. It is bottled at \u003cstrong\u003e12% ABV in the traditional 375mL format\u003c\/strong\u003e and is labeled gluten-free in the U.S. market. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal here is not to reproduce the sharper, more neutral character of traditional soju.

Apple-flavored spirits can easily become candy-like, but Soonhari's official profile emphasizes crispness, floral character, and pear alongside the sweetness. At 12% ABV, it lands closer to a fruit-forward social drink than a conventional spirit, while still retaining the familiar 375mL Korean soju format. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe it \u003cstrong\u003every cold\u003c\/strong\u003e, straight from the bottle or poured into small soju glasses. It also works over ice or as the base of a light highball. Soonhari specifically recommends pairing the Apple expression with \u003cstrong\u003epork belly\u003c\/strong\u003e, where its sweetness and fruit help cut through the richness of the meat. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Soonhari Apple Soju?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Korean flavored soju combining a grain-and-tapioca-based spirit with apple juice and apple flavor for a light, sweet, fruit-forward style. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the specs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e375mL, 12% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e, made with water, alcohol distilled from grain and tapioca, citric acid, apple flavors, apple juice, and sweeteners.
