The fall season is known for the usual suspects of sweet, savory and spicy flavors like pumpkin, nutmeg, apple, cinnamon, caramel and maple. And as much as we love infusing these into our favorite seasonal recipes, there’s still always room for something bright, light and extra fruity too. After all, it wouldn’t be the best season of the year without the freedom to indulge however you please—now would it?
Thankfully, Costco always has something special up its sleeve, and this week is no different for select warehouse locations. Just in time for your next holiday party—or the perfect pairing to an intimate homemade meal—Gorae Soju is popping up at even more warehouses nationwide, in a sporty 6-pack case for around $26.99. If you’re craving something new, fun and steeped in tradition, this one’s your next great pour.

Spotted by @costcobuys and quickly shared online to show viewers exactly where they can find a case, this classic Korean spirit is praised for its smooth, crisp and easy-to-drink profile—perfect for sipping on its own or mixing into a cocktail. Each case includes six 12.7-ounce bottles and three fruity, refreshing flavors: Honey-Do, Lemonster, and Peach on the Beach. Best of all, thanks to its low ABV, this clear distilled spirit is ideal for almost any dining table, social gathering or casual get-together.
“Made with Jeju Island’s naturally filtered volcanic bedrock water, Gorae Soju brings you a clean, refreshing taste that’s perfect for any occasion,” the post reads. And despite the current trend of classic fall flavors taking over our feeds on a daily basis, dozens of commenters chimed in to share their regions and beg for a chance to stock up for the season.
“Come to California,” one viewer pleaded— to which @goraesoju offered a glimmer of hope, replying, “We are working on the Cali market!! See you soon.”

Where to Find Gorae Soju and What Makes It Special
If this is your first time hearing about Gorae Soju—or soju in general—consider this offering a modern take on Korea’s most beloved spirit. Distilled using Jeju Island’s naturally filtered volcanic bedrock water, each bottle is crafted with care, aged for 72 hours and passed through a four-step ultra-fine filtration process for an ultra-smooth finish. The result is a mellow sweetness balanced by subtle complexity, giving it the signature “clean and smooth” taste that fans can’t get enough of.
While @costcobuys’ video doesn’t reveal the exact price, we can assume that it’s likely to vary depending on location. However, when @goraesoju first posted about the release last year, the same 6-pack sold for $26.99—which is not a bad deal even today if the price remains similar. In other words, stock up if you live in one of the following regions recently confirmed as participating locations:
- Washington D.C
- Delaware
- Massachusetts
- New York (LIC and Suffolk)
- Louisiana (New Orleans and Lafayette)
- South Carolina (Myrtle Beach)
