Here’s 5 Cocktails Using Beer!

1. Soju with Beer (Somaek)

Soju is taking Singapore by storm! While some might find it too strong to drink on its own, did you know that it goes surprisingly well with beer? It enhances the sweetness of the beer while making it smooth. Koreans call this concoction Somaek, an abbreviation of 2 Korean words; Soju (Soju) and Maekju (Beer).

1. Choose your favourite flavour of Soju (Original, Grapefruit, White Grape, etc).
2. Pour half a pint of beer into a glass.
3. Pour either 125ml of Soju or 2 Shots. Stir well.
4. Bonus: A Korean trick by using chopsticks to mix; put 1 chopsticks at each end of the cup, and bring them together fast in a clapping motion so the liquid and gas from the beer stirs by itself.
