A Refreshing Take on Asian Spirits: Honest Reviews of 'Vibe Suje' Recipes
Hello everyone!
I've got a confession to make: I'm a total sucker for Asian cuisine, and when there's food on the table, you can bet there's always a drink to go with it. For me, it's all about capturing those authentic flavors and aromas, and 100% immersion would be amazing, but let's be real, I'm not exactly planning any exotic getaways anytime soon.
In my city, there's a tiny Vietnamese restaurant that's got its own unique take on national cuisine and chefs. From my experience, I know that the same recipe can be cooked differently by Chinese or Vietnamese chefs versus a local one. And while food can be replicated, drinks are a whole different story. Asian drinks aren't exactly imported here, but they do offer a local alternative.
Suje is a traditional Korean alcoholic drink that's steeped in Korean culture, reflecting its rich history, traditions, and modernity. Thanks to its accessibility, universality, and the Korean wave, suje has become a global phenomenon.
There are a few local producers in Belarus who've launched suje lines, like the Minsk Wine Factory. However, the Vietnamese restaurant opted to buy their traditional suje from the Gomel-based Radamir liquor and wine factory.
'Vibe Suje with Blackcurrant Flavor' Aperitif
I chose the blackcurrant and feijoa flavors out of the three options. We ordered three bottles for the three of us. They're served in 375ml bottles with shot glasses. At home, I prefer to drink this kind of drink from a glass, so I just used a regular glass.
The drink is a bit murky. It looks and tastes a bit like moonshine, but thankfully, it doesn't have the same flavor and aroma.
'Vibe Suje with Blackcurrant Flavor' has a rich, sour-sweet taste with a hint of bitterness and vibrant berry notes. This deep and complex flavor reminds me of a summer forest and gives me a feeling of freshness and energy.
'Vibe Suje' would be an excellent choice for those looking to try something new and exciting in the world of alcoholic drinks.
The drink's 15% ABV is relatively low. Traditional suje can have up to 45% ABV and 18g of sugar per 100ml. I don't know how Koreans drink this stuff, but I get why the drama characters are always so hungover.
Ingredients of 'Vibe Suje':
potable water, rectified ethyl alcohol from food-grade raw material 'Lux', sugar syrup, food additive: acidity regulator - monohydrate food-grade citric acid, flavor 'Blackcurrant', natural flavor 'Tonic'
The drink's taste is sour-sweet with a predominant sweetness. The aroma is a bright, berry-like flavor similar to the natural taste of blackcurrants, with a less intense aftertaste. It has a noticeable alcohol presence. I saw people at the next table drinking suje with water. I just had veggies, chicken in a sour-sweet sauce, and drank it with a tom kha soup.
Let's be real, the Asian flavors and spices really bring out the taste of this drink. I'm usually a mess after a sweet booze night, but this Korean stuff is a different story.
The sugar content in 'Vibe Sodju' blackberry is 9g per 100ml, which is half the allowed limit. I didn't get a headache, but I did feel a bit dehydrated.
You can drink Sodju straight up or mix it with other cocktails. The manufacturer's done us a solid by providing some recipe ideas, so feel free to experiment.
There were six recipes in total, and I'll give you three of the most interesting ones:
1. Sodju with Coffee - it's like a Korean version of Irish coffee, just a simple and tasty mix of Sodju and black coffee.2. Somaek (beer cocktail)3. Sodju with Cola (a light and refreshing cocktail)Out of the six recipes, coffee, beer, and cola are the most successful combinations. The others, like yogurt, jelly candies, or mojito, are a bit of a stretch. I'll post the more unusual recipes in my review for 'Vibe Sodju with feijoa flavor'. Feel free to adjust the dosages as you see fit.
Overall, I'm really impressed with 'Vibe Suje' and its unique flavor profile. It's definitely a drink worth trying, especially if you're looking to try something new and exciting in the world of alcoholic drinks.
