Serkem (གསེར་སྐྱེམས་) refers to a type of alcoholic drink, known as Chang (ཆང་), which is an important part of Bhutanese culture, especially in the eastern districts.—Like marchang, serkem is a libation which is commonly made as part of a larger ritual or on its own. People make serkem offering in temples and family homes and also on the passes when they travel. A small amount of alcohol considered as the best portion of the alcohol (ཆང་ཕུད་) is thrown to the sky or a shrine after chanting the words for serkem offering.
