All recipes with Soho

Here you’ll find all the recipes published by our foodies that feature Soho as an ingredient.

Soho is an iconic French liqueur, recognizable by its translucent color and delicate lychee aroma. Created in the late 1980s, this drink has won over palates with its exotic and refined fragrance—sweet, floral, and slightly tart—that instantly evokes Asia and tropical flavors. Made by distilling and macerating lychees, Soho typically has an alcohol content of around 20%, making it a smooth liqueur that pairs easily with other ingredients.

In cocktails, Soho is a true chameleon. It pairs wonderfully with white spirits like vodka, gin, or rum, as well as with fruit juices such as lime, apple, or pineapple. The famous Soho Lychee Tonic is a classic: a refreshing blend of Soho, tonic water, and ice, perfect as an aperitif. Other popular recipes like the Soho Spritz, the Soho Sunrise, or the Soho Fizz play on the balance between sweetness and acidity, highlighting the lychee’s unique aroma. This liqueur adds a floral and sensual note that modernizes and softens even the simplest cocktails.

But Soho isn’t limited to the shaker: it also has a place in the kitchen, where it becomes a unique asset for enhancing desserts or fruity dishes. Just a few drops are enough to flavor a tropical fruit salad, homemade sorbet, Bavarian cream, or even a sweet-and-salty sauce to accompany shrimp, chicken, or duck. Its sweet and subtly fragrant flavor allows for the creation of exotic and elegant pairings, without ever overpowering the other ingredients.

Light, fragrant, and refined, Soho embodies this fusion of French tradition and Asian exoticism, an invitation to travel through the senses. Whether poured into a sparkling cocktail or added to a gourmet recipe, it always offers a touch of originality and freshness that appeals to bartenders and amateur cooks alike.
