Getting together with friends in Japan often meant making home made Chu-hi at the Izakaya. The server would come to our table with seltzer, grapefruit halves, and a bottle of Shochu and we were set. When we needed more of anything all we had to do is push a button to "buzz" our server to bring us more good eats and mixers for our drinks. This is one of the most refreshing drinks you can have on a hot summer night. Enjoy.
Ingredients for one tall glass:
2 jiggers of Shochu (or to taste)
8 oz of seltzer water
Juice of 1/2 of a grapefruit
plenty of ice.
Serve in a big tall glass or divy it up between friends.
