Eagle-eyed Costco members have spotted a new beverage on warehouse shelves, and people are already adding it to their shopping lists. Hitting select Southern California warehouses now is Yoju\u2019s Hard Vietnamese Coffee. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"tiktok\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The drink is a boozy blend of soju, condensed milk, and coffee imported from Vietnam. Each can clocks in at seven percent ABV, making it stronger than your average hard seltzer. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">This product may already be familiar if you shop at Trader Joe\u2019s, where it first appeared about four months ago. One Reddit user made the astute observation that Costco\u2019s version is the much better deal.

One Reddit user called the cocktail &#8220;delicious&#8221; and ideal for &#8220;easy drinking.&#8221; Another said the &#8220;soju part is subdued due to the sweetness of Vietnamese coffee.&#8221; Since soju is already a crisp, mild, easy-drinking spirit, adding condensed milk makes this sound especially appealing to anyone who wants a buzz without a super-alcohol-forward flavor.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Of course, some people immediately connected the caffeinated cocktail to the original formula of Four Loko\u2014including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@sipyoju\/video\/7612050184641514765\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@sipyoju\/video\/7612050184641514765\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"brand\u2019s founder\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"4e58f068-d320-4416-b307-c78a97f2b906\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-node-id=\"10.1\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@sipyoju\/video\/7612050184641514765\" data-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@sipyoju\/video\/7612050184641514765\" data-affiliate=\"false\" data-affiliate-network=\"\" data-vars-ga-product-price=\"$0.00\" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id=\"55779d34-69f6-405f-926b-fe64b6c0ddc3\" data-vars-ga-link-treatment=\"(not set) | (not set)\" class=\"body-link product-links css-8bav6j e1aq0z090\">brand\u2019s founder<\/a>. But if you\u2019re concerned about caffeine overload, don\u2019t be. Each can contains between 20 and 30 milligrams of caffeine, which is notably less than a cup of coffee and even less than your standard espresso martini. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Yoju&#8217;s Vietnamese Hard Coffee will only be in the Costco warehouses for a limited time.
