Do you like alcohol? Whenever we need to make a mood smoothly and enjoy the night, we need alcohol! Korean really love to drink, and as you know, drinking beverage with so many Korean delicious food is really big fun! Samgyupsal with Soju, Chicken with Beer, Pajeon with Makkurry, so many good combinations! That's why I am going to introduce Korean alcohol in this post.
#1 Soju
This is Korean national beverage. I want to say this is like a mild Vodka. This is made by diluting ethanol with water. The alcohol proof ranges from 15.5 to 35. Mostly there are two type of the most popular Soju. First one is Fresh Soju having 22 proof, another one is Classic having 17.5 proof.
Usually people use small glass for this alcohol, and drink it at once. Drinking like this is pretty cool! When you are with your good friends or lover, otherwise you are with delicious foods, you cannot stop drinking Soju. This become deliciously sweet when you are in good mood! Hope you can understand what I mean sooooon! In addition, the 360ml bottle in the first picture is just one dollar at the market.
This is fruit-tasted Soju. Like a vodka, Soju can be mixed with many sweet fruit juice. In many bars, they offer this kind of Soju. But watch out! While you are enjoying this, you may be drunken
involuntarily.
#2 Beer
This is Korean beer. Actually Korean beer have very low malt, almost 11%. It is very different from other countries's beer like German beer with 100% malt and Japan Beer with 66%. So Korean beer is pretty light and refreshing. We love to drink very cool beer.
Somack
This is another Korean popular drink Somack, the blended beverage of Soju and Beer. It is called Bomb alcohol. Many people become drunken with this one. We put the one shot of Soju to the Beer. This makes pretty awesome taste! Also, this taste is made with only Korean beer which doesn't have strong beer flavor.
#3. Makkurry
This is our traditional alcohol. Some people call this Korean Rice Wine. It is made by adding yeast with rice or flour and then fermented. This is very sweet and fun. Usually we use traditional style bowl to drink this. The proof is 6 to 8! Also, Korea has many Makkurry bar which have traditional design.
