Soju SoGOOD

Hard to find soju enhancers, Sukhee Haesoo

It all begins with an idea, or better yet, an idea with a great twist. Let's drink becomes let's drink soju. Can it get better? As it turns out, it can when you can prevent the hangover before it begins! This is where my favorite new drink comes into the story.. enter Sukhee Haesoo! Be clear, be confident, don’t overthink it after you overdrink it. Adding this to your night of drinking simply subtracts the hangover from your next morning.

This is surprisingly hard to find in the US but your boy got to work and tracked this product down without delay. Finding it more expensive than I expected, no hesitation was shown before tapping into the kid's college fund to pay the sky high price and shipping (is there actual gold in here?) and brought this wonderful product into my life.

The worse part? Not the pricing but the fact that the easiest place to buy as an American limits to one bottle per order!! I am determined to change this, I would love to work with this company to distribute the product stateside, helping to make Sukhee Haesoo a staple of your social life as opposed to a once in a lifetime gimmick.

My favorite is the ABC which I think is the original flavor, which is primarily Apples Beets Carrots - and fun fact that I learned while falling in love with this product, is that in Daegu, Korea where this product is made, the region is renowned for their apple growing, so I'm sure these are what makes it into the product.

I currently have one left of each flavor in my picture (remember how I can only order one at a time?!?), so hurry over and join me in trying my favorite new drink, which will NOT leave you feeling like we drank all night, even though we probably will!

What should land in at least everyone’s top five traditions from around the world, Śmigus-dyngus is a celebration held on Easter Monday across Poland, and I believe parts of other nearby eastern European countries.
