Salmiakki Koskenkorva , (also Salmiakkikossu for short or general terms as Salmari ) is a popular pre-mixed mixture in Finland. Supposedly salmiakkikossu consists of Koskenkorva Viina vodka with salmiakki extract dissolved into it, sometimes also grind the Turkish pepper as a salty sweet root is used instead of the extract. Very similar drinks are very popular in Denmark, but are referred to by names like "Ga-Jol", "smÃÆ'  ¥ blÃÆ'  ¥" or "sorte svin" ( black pig ) instead. In northern Germany, there is another drink very similar to the name "Schwarze Sau" ( black sow ) based on Doppelkorn instead of vodka. It is most popular in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein and is often associated with the state.
Salmiakki Koskenkorva is a rather thick liquid with a characteristic black color, dark grayish brown in a thin layer. At a closer look, the fine particles of black carbon suspended in the liquid are visible.
Before the 1990s, Finland had a very thin and storied cocktail culture. Some Finnish beverage companies started serving drinks made from candy-based ammonium chloride (Salmiakki in Finnish). This drink became a trendy drink especially among the teenagers of that era, whom some considered and called it "teenage vodka".
The origin and recipe of a drink is based on anecdotal reference. The concept of mixing vodka and licorice probably existed long before the 1990s, as both Koskenkorva Viina vodka and Turkish licorice pepper existed before the discovery of alleged cocktails. On the other hand, Salmiakki Koskenkorva is one of the first pre-mixed cocktails sold in Finland. Another famous Anekdote said that singer Jari SillanpÃÆ'¤ÃÆ'¤ found a drink when she worked as a bartender in the late 1980s.
The taste of Salmiakki Koskenkorva is very similar to licorice drugs and black cough (this is because the original mixture, see Apteekin Salmiakki, used in Salmiakki Koskenkorva is also used in cough medicine), and has the added effect of increasing saliva.
