Korean traditional liquor, known as makgeolli, is a milky, slightly sweet alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. It has a low alcohol content, typically around 6-8%, and is often enjoyed with meals or during celebrations. Makgeolli is rich in nutrients and probiotics, making it a popular choice for health-conscious drinkers. Another well-known type of Korean traditional liquor is soju, a clear spirit with a higher alcohol content, usually between 16-25%. Soju is made from various ingredients, including rice, barley, and sweet potatoes. It is commonly consumed straight or used in cocktails, and it plays a significant role in Korean social culture.
