Makgeolli (Hangul: 막걸리 ), also known as "makkoli", "makoli", "makguli", "makgoli", "makeolli" or "makuly (takju)", is a slightly sweet alcoholic beverage native to Korea. It is made from rice or wheat mixed with nuruk, a Korean fermentation starter. It has a milky, off-white color and is about 6–8% alcohol by volume. Makgeolli is traditionally made from rice, although variations are made from wheat, and some brands are flavored with corn, chestnut, apple or other produce.
