LOTTE originally described the expression as a soju-based cocktail developed to reduce soju’s characteristic alcohol aroma and bitterness while emphasizing strawberry character, helping make it more accessible to international drinkers. The expression earned a \u003cstrong\u003eJudges’ Selection award at the 2019 Alberta Beverage Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the current U.S. bottling received a \u003cstrong\u003eSilver Medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \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 bottle or poured into small soju glasses.
