*Fig-infused soju can be done in two ways.
- 1 cup dried mission figs, halved
- One bottle of soju

Soju infusion 2
I used the nitrogen cavitation technique with an iSi canister and one N20 cartridge. It is similar to the Bourbon Chocolate Strawberry cocktail.
1. Cut a few figs into smaller pieces and put them in the creamer.
2. Add also 4-5 oz soju.
3. Charge the canister with an N2O cartridge.
4. Let it rest. The infusion will be done in about 3 min.
5. Slowly disperse it in a vessel.
6. Let it rest for 5 minutes for the flavour to develop fully.
7. To double-strain it, I used cheesecloth.
8. The bourbon has a smooth taste with an aftertaste of figs.
