Make Madang’s Banana Uyu cocktail with Yido Brews’ White Tiger Makgeolli

Madang is a Chicago-based Korean-American cocktail and café pop-up concept centered on reimagining nostalgic Korean flavors through thoughtful, ingredient-driven drinks. We love finding creative ways to introduce Korean ingredients and traditions with approachable cocktails.

Inspired by the nostalgic Korean banana milk, Banana Uyu is a creamy, tropical, shaken makgeolli cocktail based off of a Cariño. Here is an easy recipe to make at home.
