Soju Shot (Poktanju)

Poktanju is a simple South Korean combination of beer and soju—a traditional Koran rice spirit. Also known as soju shot or bomb shot, the drink is made by dropping a shot of soju in a glass of beer. Once prepared, the cocktail is gulped as quickly as possible.

Unsurprisingly, this mixed drink can get people intoxicated quickly. Poktanju is often enjoyed as a social drink. It is considered a slightly more robust and heavier version of somaek, which also combines beer and soju.
