Makguli may not be the very first thing that pops up in your mind when you think of Korea, but it is catching some serious heat within Korea and have been gaining mass popularity in the more recent years.
Annnd! There must be sweets to nibble on where there is Makguli.
Makguli is a Korean traditional alcoholic beverage made from rice. We usually enjoy Makguli with Korean-style pancakes but it also pairs very well with snack options. With the right combination of Makguli and Korean snacks, you can have yourself a fun and tasteful evening.
