Cocktails
Despite its tradition, soju is not always consumed in unmixed form. Mixing soju and beer is called somaek, a portmanteau of the words soju and maekju (맥주 beer). Flavored soju is also available. It is also popular to blend fruits with soju and to drink it in "slushy" form.
A poktanju (폭탄주) ("bomb drink") consists of a shot glass of soju dropped into a pint of beer (similar to a boilermaker); it is drunk quickly. This is similar to the Japanese sake bomb.
Another cocktail is called kojinkamrae (고진감래). It is the same as the poktanju above but includes a shot of cola (1 shot soju, 1 shot cola, 1 glass beer).
The reverse, a shot glass of beer dropped into a pint of soju, is called a soju poktanju ("soju bomb drink").
An Abominable Killer Snowmen is a popular cocktail containing soju. It consists of 1 oz. of soju, 1 oz. of Rose's lime juice, and 1 oz. of sour mix combined together in a highball glass. The glass is then garnished with a cucumber.
