A Sweet and Sparkling Korean Citrus Drink

Looking for a refreshing drink on a warm day? This easy Yuzu Ade combines the rich citrus flavor of Korean yuzu tea with sparkling water and soda, creating a perfectly balanced drink that’s sweet, tangy, and incredibly refreshing. It’s quick to make and perfect for relaxing outdoors.

Ingredients (1 serving)

• 1 tbsp Ottogi Yuzu Tea (Yuja-cha)
• 200 ml sparkling water
• 1 shot glass (about 40–50 ml) lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
• 2 ice cubes
• 1 slice of lime (about 0.5 cm thick)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Lime

Place the lime slice into a serving glass. Using the back of a spoon, gently press it to release the fresh lime juice. Avoid crushing it too hard—you only want to bring out its natural aroma and flavor.

2. Add the Yuzu Tea

Add 1 tablespoon of Ottogi Yuzu Tea to the glass.

3. Pour in the Sparkling Water

Add 200 ml of sparkling water and stir well until the yuzu tea is completely dissolved.

4. Add Ice

Add 2 ice cubes to chill the drink.

5. Finish with Soda

Pour in one shot glass of lemon-lime soda for a light sweetness and extra fizz.

Serving Suggestion

Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Yuzu Ade outdoors on a warm day. Garnish with an extra lime slice or a few mint leaves for an even fresher presentation.

Tips

• Adjust the amount of yuzu tea to make the drink sweeter or more citrusy.
• For a stronger sparkling taste, reduce the amount of soda and add more sparkling water.
• Chill all ingredients before mixing for the best refreshing flavor.
• Fresh lime juice adds a brighter citrus aroma and balances the sweetness beautifully.
