Here’s a guide to every Jinro soju flavor to amp up your barkada’s next drinking session

There is no better way to cool down after work or sweeten up a day out with friends than with bottles of flavorful yet light liquor like soju. 

This Korean alcoholic drink has been the pick-me-up of the young and old not only because it doesn’t leave a horrible hangover, but more so, it’s the ideal companion to samgyeopsal or any pulutan. On top of that, it comes in a variety of flavors to suit every fun, casual drinker. Since the brand launched way back 1924, it has introduced variants that add distinct sweetness to its smooth neutral mix

Jinro’s signature fruity flavors—which range from subtle to bold—have, in fact, made the brand the world’s best-selling spirit and number one fruit-flavored soju.

If you’re curious which one will suit your liking, check out our list below that’ll help you pick your go-to flavor for the next time you and your friends are grabbing a drink.

Jinro Plum

Up for a drink that's fresh and fun as seen in Jinro’s new commercial? The latest addition to the pack, Jinro Plum has a fruity yet bold taste that would make for an "attractive" party drink.

The sweet and tart taste of Asian plum is combined with Jinro's low alcohol content of 13%, which makes it easy to consume.

If you want to jazz it up, pour ice into a glass, add 60 ml of lemon juice, 60 ml of honey syrup, and 60 ml of Jinro Plum soju for the perfect summer cocktail any time of the year.

 Jinro Strawberry

Want something extra sweet as a breather from your usual old-fashioned spirits or maybe you just have a knack for sugary beverages? Then Jinro Strawberry will satisfy your craving.

The drink is described by Jinro as one that’s ideal “for the sweetest ones,” as it is the byproduct of its secret formula wherein “sweet strawberry meets morning dew.” It contains real concentrated strawberry juice combined with Jinro’s grain-based, neutral spirit. 

Every sip bursts with the sweet taste of fresh strawberries with just a pinch of bitterness. In fact, some drinkers would say that it’s so flavorful, you’d forget that it’s liquor. 

Try adding a twist to its summer berry flavor by muddling strawberries with mint leaves, adding one small bottle of cultured milk, then mixing that with 60 ml of Jinro Strawberry soju. Don't forget to put ice to make it cool!

Jinro Green Grape

With its chill upbeat music and enlivening images, Jinro’s Green Grape commercial would surely get you thinking of sunny laid-back afternoons.  Expect to get that same light and happy vibe with every bottle of the drink as well. 

Same as the brand’s other variants, Jinro Green Grape will give you a “refreshing time” with its unique flavor wherein “fresh green grape meets morning dew.”

It’s a drink with a distinctive twist as it combines the flavor of fresh grapes with what tastes like bubble gum or gummy candy. Jinro made sure to put just the right amount of sweetness, though, so the flavor is still smooth and subtle, making it a bit similar to white wine.

What’s even better, you can use it to whip your own Caribbean sunset mocktail. To do that, get a glass with ice, fill ¾ of it with pineapple juice, pour in some Gatorade Blue Bolt until it’s full, then add one shot of Jinro Green Grape soju. Enjoy and make sure to take snaps of this Instagrammable drink.

Jinro Grapefruit

If you got into the groove while listening to the hip beats and seeing the sunny visuals of Jinro Grapefruit soju’s commercial video, then wait till you take a sip of the drink.  

This flavor gives off that “young vibe,” with its distinct citrus and sharp flavor coming from fresh, sweet-tasting grapefruit combined with Jinro's strong classic soju. It can be quite bitter, making it the best match for those who prefer drinks that bite.

It’s the key ingredient, too, when creating your own version of Paloma mocktail. Start by filling up a glass with ice and pomelo juice. Then, mix it with two shots or 60 ml of Jinro Grapefruit soju. Top it off with a slice of lime or grapefruit and drink away!

Jinro Peach

Peach is downright a delicious fruit that even the sight of it in Jinro’s commercial video already makes our mouths water. Because of that, it comes as no wonder that Jinro’s peach variant has also become the favorite of many soju drinkers.

When this soft and “lovely” fruit is mixed with the brand’s mildly bitter soju, it produces a flavor that’s sweet, bubbly, and refreshing.

Jinro Peach soju has a good balance between the sweetness of the fruit and the slight stinging taste of soju. Its fizziness makes finishing a bottle as pleasurable (or even more) as drinking champagne. 

It can be a good pick-me-up for you and your colleagues after a tiring day as well. Simply mix 2/3 cup of Jinro Peach soju with 1/3 cup of peach tea. Add ice, and you’re good to go.
