This is not your nasty soju boilermaker that leaves a gross aftertaste and wicked hangover. This is a layered boilermaker so the last thing you drink is the sweet taste of coke. You first put an empty shot glass in a beer mug. You fill this halfway with coke. Then you place a second shot glass on top of the coke- it should fit right into it and then fill this with a half or a full shot of soju. Finally, fill the mug with enough beer to cover everything. You have to do this in one shot. Because of gravity, the last thing you will drink will be the coke. This will get rid of the soju and beer aftertaste. It’s quite yummy and very dangerous. Try it today!

    A little backstory:

    고진감래 (Co-Jin-Gam-Rae) is a korean proverb that says "what is bitter is followed by sweet". Basically some alcoholics (like myself) decided to use this term to describe the 'cocktail' made from coke beer and soju.

    When you drink it, bitterness (soju + beer) is followd by sweet aftertaste of coke, which suits the meaning of the proverb.

    I heard this from my sister as well haha interesting stuff!
