| | English translation:Vodka mixes with liquorice and ? | Explanation:
Kossu is Koskenkorva, kind of a Finnish vodka... but how it differs from say, Finlandia vodka, I wouldn't know. Salmiakki is a kind of salty liquorice, sold as a sweet, and well, the resulting vodka is certainly different but quite popular in Finland. Don't know what the vissy is - maybe whisky??

BTW, vissy is probably vichy water, so, vodka diluted with water. |
