About this dish
Yuja (Korean citron) marmalade, pear juice, lemon juice and honey are mixed into a base first, divided between iced glasses, and topped with soda water at the very end.

Yuja marmalades vary in sweetness, so the honey goes in to taste. A sprig of rosemary, slapped once between the palms to wake it up, goes into each glass.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Chill two serving glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes or in an ice bath.
Shake off any meltwater from 180 g of ice, then divide it between the glasses until each is about 70 percent full.
- 2
In a bowl, add 4 tablespoons yuja marmalade and 220 ml Korean pear juice first.
Press larger pieces of citrus pulp with a spoon and stir until the syrup loosens evenly through the pear juice.
- 3
Add 1 tablespoon each of lemon juice and honey, then stir for about 30 seconds until the honey dissolves and sweetness is even.
- 4
Divide the finished base evenly between the two ice-filled glasses.
Use a long spoon to lift from the bottom two or three times, just enough to keep the yuja pulp from settling.
- 5
Slowly pour 360 ml cold sparkling water down the inside wall of the glasses, dividing it evenly.
If foam rises quickly, pause briefly, then turn the spoon once to settle any visible layers.
- 6
Lightly tap the rosemary sprig between your palms to release its aroma, then place it in a glass.
Serve immediately while the ice is still firm and the bubbles are still active.
