Ai Yu Jelly Champagne Punch

This delicate and refreshing punch is made with ingredients that traditionally accompany Ai Yu: lemon and sugar. Soju is added to make this a serious, grown up drink (though no need to be either serious or grown up). The punch is topped with bubbly, adding a crisp, fruity flavor and a bread-like aroma.
