Karsk, a traditional Scandinavian drink, combines coffee with vodka or moonshine, making it a century-old cozy option during harsh winters, with varying ratios depending on personal tolerance.
The name 'karsk' comes from an Old Norse word meaning vigorous and agile, implying the energizing effect of coffee combined with the warmth of alcohol.
Unlike Irish coffee, karsk doesn’t feature whipped cream or decorative toppings; it’s a straightforward drink that embraces simplicity, focusing on the harmony of alcohol and coffee.
In rural Norway, karsk traditionally helps people cope with winter; a unique method involving a copper coin allows drinkers to concoct the ideal mixture without needing precise measurements.
