Karsk

From Free net encyclopedia

Karsk is a Norwegian name for coffee with added liquor, usually moonshine or vodka. In Sweden it is called kask or kaffekask. Alcohol content is a matter of personal taste, and can vary from 10 to 96%.

In many rural areas of Norway it is common to sell half-full cups of coffee at festivals and concerts where people are expected to bring their own moonshine to mix with it.

A common urban legend about karsk is that you make it by putting a coin at the bottom of the cup, pour coffee until it can't be seen, and then pour in moonshine until the coin can be seen again. Some variations also include that you should pour in moonshine until the coin dissolves.
