Salmiakki[edit | edit source]

Preparation and Consumption[edit | edit source]
To prepare Salmiakki Koskenkorva, salmiakki is dissolved in Koskenkorva Viina. The resulting mixture is then usually served chilled in shot glasses. The drink is known for its strong, unique flavor, which combines the sweetness of the liquorice with the saltiness of the ammonium chloride and the strength of the vodka.
Salmiakki Koskenkorva is often consumed as a shot, and it is a popular choice for toasts at Finnish parties and celebrations. Despite its strong flavor, it is typically consumed in one gulp.
