Have you ever been at a

Korean supermarket, and wondered

what all the drinks in the chiller were?

Well, today we'll be telling you about

some of the best non-alcoholic drinks

to quench your thirst!

 

Let's get it!

 

1. Boricha (Korean Barley Tea)

If you've been to a Korean restaurant,

you would definitely have had barley tea!

The drink is a refreshing complement to any

meal, but is also perfect on its own.

 

It's also the perfect introduction to

the next drink, which is...

 

2. Mccol

McCol is a roasted barley tea drink with

a twist - it's carbonated!

 

It certainly sounded like a strange

combination, so I wanted to give it a go!

 

I tried this drink for the first

time the other day at The Gogijip,

and I actually really liked it!

 

You should check it out!

 

3. Banana Milk

Another classic Korean drink is

Banana Milk, and it's definitely one of

my, and many Korean's favourites!

 

The drink was first introduced as a way

to get the public to drink more milk,

and it worked - it is believed that over a million

bottles of banana milk sold every single day!

 

4. Milkis

If you like sweet flavours, you'll

also love Milkis - a deliciously refreshing

combination of yoghurt and fizzy soda!

 

It's one of the most popular drinks in Korea,

and it spawned multiple flavours and

competing products, but we still like

the original one the most!

 

5.  Bong Bong

Do you like Qoo, the grape drink that

many Singaporeans enjoy daily?

If you do, imagine Qoo with actual

grape-bits that you can chew on!

 

Its iconic can-shape and color means

that you can surely (and quickly) spot it

at any Korean supermarket!

 

6. Sikhye

Another popular drink is Sikhye,

which also come with grains of

cooked rice in the can!

It's a beverage that has a long history,

but modernized for our current times!

 

The drink is also known to be a great

digestion aid, so make sure to drink it

after a heavy meal!

 

7. Bacchus

Finally, we have Korea's answer

to Red Bull - Bacchus!

You might have seen recent commercials featuring

the drink, but did you know that the drink

has been around for a long time (since 1963)?

Those were 7 drinks you can try

the next time you're at a Korean

supermarket!
