Okbodan History

Okbodan is a liqueur-based creative cocktail born in Busan, South Korea. Its name is believed to derive from "Okbodan," famous from classic Korean novels and films.

The cocktail's signature feature is its sugar rim. The suggestive appearance of licking sugar off the glass rim with one's tongue reportedly inspired its provocative name.

As Okbodan spread nationwide, another story emerged that the layered appearance resembled a woman's chest, hence the name. However, this explanation came from later variations—the original Okbodan was not layered.
