Drink? It's licorice...


There is also a branded "liquor" with the same name. I enjoy both the drink and the licorice.


Oh. Then we apparently have licorice liqueur.


Yup, widely available. Here's a random shot of a bottle I have at home:

The more common version comes in a black bottle, but there are a couple of varieties out there.

99% of the time when people talk about Salmiakki they mean the candy/licorice, but the remaining time they mean the drink.


There's other liquorice liquor available throughout the world as well. A brand I know from The Netherlands is called "drop shot" [1] (drop is the Dutch word for liquorice).

Ours is smaller. Might try it tonight, since the kid is in daycare tomorrow and if we die it'll inconvenience her less.
