What is the shelf life for Fresh Draft Wondermak?
You can enjoy our makgeolli for up to 3 months when you properly store it in a refrigerator. After 3 months, the sweetness is going to develop towards sourness, which becomes a matter of personal preference. It doesn’t mean the makgeolli is spoiled.
Is it okay to store it again in a fridge after opening it?
Yes, the taste will not change significantly whether it is opened or not if it is stored in a fridge.
Do you add sugar or sweetener to the product? How does it achieve its sweetness?
No, we strictly stick to using only rice, water, and nuruk. The sweetness originates from sweet rice (찹쌀). We use approximately 3-5 times the amount of rice used in other commercially produced makgeolli to achieve this sweetness.
Can you recommend some ways to enjoy Wondermak at home?
For those who find Wondermak to be strong and thick in taste, we recommend adding some ice cubes. This will lighten and cool the drink for a more enjoyable experience. Additionally, if you prefer fizzy makgeolli, try mixing Wondermak with Sprite or sparkling water at a ratio of 1:1 to 1:0.5, depending on your preference.
Can you recommend some food pairings for each flavor?
For the original flavor, it pairs well with a wide range of dishes, particularly those with strong spices. Basil Wondermak complements meat and seafood dishes with its herbal and tangy flavours. Blueberry Wondermak’s vibrant color and fruity flavor are an excellent match for desserts.
Would you purchase this product again? Yes
The “sweet-n-tart lemonade” of makgeolli!
Everything is working well, drinks are delicious. The lid is a bit hard to open because it’s not ribbed, otherwise it’s perfect
Would you purchase this product again? Yes
This is my fave after the original!
Packaging is always superb with details to ensure the beverage gets delivered safely. However, if there’s a way to opt-out of the branded bag or extra packaging I’d feel like there’s more ways to be eco-friendly!
