Wild Mannered Pineapple Ginger Soju Cocktail

Wild Mannered Pineapple Ginger Soju Cocktail shines best when served chilled or over ice, perfectly complementing spicy Asian cuisine or tropical seafood dishes; for a refreshing twist, try mixing it with sparkling water or using it as a base for fruity punch-style cocktails for delighting at any hosting & gathering occasion.

Nose: Fresh, ripe pineapple dominates, with a subtle undercurrent of spicy ginger. Hints of grape and light alcohol notes round out the aroma.

Palate: Juicy pineapple sweetness hits first, quickly followed by a warm ginger kick. The soju's grape base provides a smooth, neutral canvas. Light and refreshing with a good balance of fruit and spice. Reminiscent of a tropical Moscow Mule.

Finish: Medium length with lingering pineapple sweetness. The ginger heat builds gradually, leaving a pleasant warmth. Clean and crisp, with no artificial aftertaste. Invites another sip.

Wild Mannered Pineapple Ginger Soju Cocktail is crafted by blending grape-distilled soju (labeled as "grape brandy" in ingredients, but is unaged) and wine with real pineapple juice concentrate and ginger juice concentrate, resulting in a unique fusion of Asian spirits and American cocktail culture. What's intriguing about the process is the use of dried ginger powder, which adds an extra layer of spicy complexity to the tropical flavor profile.

• Wild Mannered's Pineapple Ginger cocktail was inspired by the founders' love of flavored Korean sojus and the communal drinking rituals of Koreatown in New York City. They unexpectedly discovered the perfect combination of pineapple and ginger flavors when they were creating homemade soju cocktails in their NYC apartment for parties.
• Unlike many ready-to-drink cocktails that use neutral grain spirits, Wild Mannered uses soju distilled from grapes, giving it a smoother taste and a unique connection to its Asian-inspired roots.
• The cocktail's vibrant flavor comes from real pineapple juice concentrate and both ginger juice concentrate and dried ginger powder, creating a complex spicy kick that sets it apart from artificial fruit-flavored drinks.
