Poktan-ju (also known as a bomb shot or a depth charge) is a popular Korean alcoholic drink that is a mixture of Soju, Beer, and sometimes Cola.
History[edit | edit source]
The origin of Poktan-ju is not well documented, but it is believed to have been popularized in South Korea in the late 20th century. The name "Poktan-ju" translates to "bomb alcohol" in English, referring to the method of dropping a shot of soju into a glass of beer.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare Poktan-ju, a shot glass of soju is dropped into a pint of beer. The drink is then consumed in one go. Sometimes, cola is added to the mix to sweeten the taste.

Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of Poktan-ju, including the Somaek, which is a mixture of soju and beer without the cola.
