Popular Finnish Drinks You Must Try

Are you a liquor enthusiast who is continually looking for new exotic drinks to taste? Then visit Finland and try out what they have to offer. Indeed, partaking in alcoholic drinks is an important part of Finnish culture.

Thus, try their salmaiakki koskenkorva, a blackish vodka cocktail drink that tastes like black liquorice. You can also savour their fruity punsch, a traditional Scandinavian drink that is made of fermented fruits, sugar cane, rice, and aniseed. If you want something sweet that gives you a kick, check out their sima, a honey-based alcoholic that has become a traditional drink in local celebrations. In winter, Finnish people drink warm sima and eat typical Scandinavian gingerbread. Another popular brew for the cold weather that you must try is warm Glögg, which is served in large mugs. Usually served during Christmas Eve, it is wine mixed with juice, spices, and pieces of fruit. Finally, you should not miss having a large refreshing mug of cold cider, a traditional drink made of fermented apple or pear juice. You can choose to drink it either sweet or dry.
