The ultimate how-to guide to drinking, Korean style; recipes for cocktails, snacks, drinking games, hangover cures, and more from Youtube star and co-owner of Bushwick''s Orion Bar, Irene Yoo.

With Soju Party, YouTube star, recipe developer, and co-owner of Bushwick's Orion Bar, Irene Yoo has written the book on drinking like a Korean. Focusing on the pillars of Korean drinking: soju (Korea's most popular drink), maekju (beer), and makgeolli (a lightly filtered rice wine), as well as the foods (known as anju) that go with them, she takes readers out on the town.

From the basics classic Korean alcohols and how to drink them to levelled up Korean-inspired riffs on classic cocktails; from simple drinking snacks (Honey Butter Bar Nuts) to crowd-pleasers like Kimchi Carbonara and Bossam with Garlic Chive Sauce, this book has you covered.

In addition to recipes, Yoo also explores the history of Korean drinking, with illustrated explainers on proper serving and drinking etiquette, drinking games, food pairings, and more.

A book that promises late nights (don't worry, there's a section on hangovers!), whether you're entertaining at home or hitting the bar, this is a party on the page. Geonabe (cheers).
