English guys trying Finnish Salted Licorice Vodka | ft.

Salmiakki is a Finnish salted licorice - which somebody in the 90's decided to add alcohol to! Will and I embark on our very own Finnish Taste Test!
Today two English guys try out Salmiakki Koskenkorva - a salted licorice Finnish vodka.

Anyone new to this, its supposed to be drank when its cold (put it in the freezer).

[@JohnsDrams]

I'll just have to get another botle and try it properly!

I prefer drink it as room temperature. Stronger taste.

In Finland we usually never mix Salmiakki Koskenkorva. Just directly from freezer to shot class and cheers. There is anyway one exception. 50:50 Salmiakki Koskenkorva and Baileys to shot class so that the layers are visible. Very good shot! 😋 In Finland the shot name is "Mummon tohveli". It means "Grandma's slipper".

[@JohnsDrams]

Not gonna lie that sounds excellent.

Red Fish drink is salmiakki koskenkorva mixed with red energy drink & koskenkorva viina. I usually mix it with euroshopper energy drink and it tastes like candy but keeps the black color.

Koskenkorva is from the village of Koskenkorva, originally, not just any village

Noted!

I was a little surprized you didn't have to do the whole "WWWOOOOO IT IS SO BAAAD I'M GOING TO PUKE" routine :-)

[@dawnwilby8911]

my son lives in Finland and always brings a bottle over when he visits😋

[@JohnsDrams]

Good lad.

One other mix drink with it is fifty-fifty(I think?) Salmiakki Koskenkorva and Passoã. It's called Ässä-mix, after a popular candy bag, which has both fruity and salty licorice candies.

[@JohnsDrams]

I've had so many mixed drink ideas come through for this recently and they all sound excellent!

[@TheHumbleBartender]

Here he is! Awesome stuff :D

[@JohnsDrams]

Nah, it's all you carrying this one!

[@itsgoodiewoodie]

One of the best drink made from salmiakkikossu is Punainen kala (Red fish). Dont laugh, but when you combine salmiakkikossu and energy drink, its actually so good.

[@JohnsDrams]

I... might actually bomb that.

[@MikoSquiz]

I've seen two drinks made with this at bars, both layered half-and-half shots, a "granny's slipper" with Bailey's and something I forget the name of with Tequila Rose. Both were surprisingly good though very dessert-y.

[@JohnsDrams]

Interesting! I don't know that I'll try it though!

[@koljkimm]

0:58 that is a very very small amount on a bottom of your glass. Can you even taste it? Did your Salmari were room temperature or freezer cold? Salmiakki Kossu is better when kept in a freezer, same with Minttu viina.

[@JohnsDrams]

We kept it at ambient, like the English philistines we are.

[@reality404]

The drink of the Demoscene I have drunk way to much over the years. I also have a dealer through you can get it off Amazon.

[@JohnsDrams]

I'm just into it.

[@Huligan722]

Great video! Would improve on the echo of the room

[@JohnsDrams]

Thanks for the feedback! We had a wonderful lapel mic give up the ghost during this video so I've had to make do with the native audio from the 6d. It's not ideal, I'm just glad we had a back up!

[@TheHumbleBartender]

@@JohnsDrams Yeah man, at least all wasn't lost. School boy error!

[@holoholopainen1627]

Its just a side effect of SALMIAKKI !

[@roymagnusson4700]

Mix that with mushed raspberry and Sprite 🤤

[@JohnsDrams]

I'm going to need to get more of this, aren't i?
