Somaek (Korean: 소맥) is a South Korean beer cocktail made with soju and beer.[1][2] The beer used is typically a lager-style.
Description
It is a syllabic abbreviation of two Korean words, soju (소주) and Maekju (맥주, "beer").[3]
The ratio varies liberally.[1] There is no consensus, but it is widely suggested that the ideal ratio is three parts soju to seven parts beer.[4]
