[Korean Slang] #8 소맥(Soju and beer)

Soju is a type of Korean distilled spirit. Since soju has a strong bitter taste by itself, it is common for Koreans to mix soju and beer together to make the alcohol taste better.

소맥 is short for ‘소주와 맥주’ which means ‘soju and beer’.

There are many ways to mix 소맥 (soju and beer), such as dropping the soju glass into a beer glass or using a spoon, chopsticks, etc. to make the beer bubbly.

These various mixing methods are often used amongst alcohol lovers to learn and show off when drinking with friends and colleagues.
