The current U.S. Citron expression contains water, alcohol distilled from \u003cstrong\u003egrain and tapioca\u003c\/strong\u003e, citric acid, citron flavor, actual citron juice, and artificial sweeteners.

When the original citron-flavored Soonhari debuted in Korea in \u003cstrong\u003eMarch 2015\u003c\/strong\u003e, it helped trigger the country’s flavored-soju wave: the original release used yuja\/citron and sold roughly \u003cstrong\u003e1.3 million bottles in its first month and 10 million within two months\u003c\/strong\u003e. That first version was 14% ABV; today’s U.S. Soonhari Citron has been dialed down to 12%, making the current bottle even lighter and easier-drinking. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, \u003cstrong\u003eorange, lemon, and floral notes\u003c\/strong\u003e lead, with a softer lemon-curd character underneath. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is light and clean, with bright citrus upfront followed by \u003cstrong\u003elemon curd and a touch of lemon crème\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The modern 12% bottling keeps that original idea intact while pushing it further toward refreshing, casual drinking. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe it \u003cstrong\u003ewell chilled\u003c\/strong\u003e, straight from the refrigerator, over ice, or lengthened with a splash of club soda.
