I was stationed in South Korea and had a alcoholic drink called Oscar It came in fruit flavors strawberry peach and grape It seemed like it was not a mix but out of the bottle Anyone know of it?

Answer 1

It no longer exists. I had it there in the late 80s. I suspect that the "Tok" that they have now is similar. It wasn't super strong, so I suspect that the white wine base in "Tok" is the closest. A soju base would be too strong. I plan to try brewing it myself and see if I come close.

Answer 2

Oscar is an alcoholic drink that I do believe is only known in Korea. It is not very well known outside of service members, that have been to Korea. When I was in the US Navy I remember walking down Texas street drinking a bottle of Oscar between each bar that I went to.
