Last orders, please

Finns are notorious for their alcohol consumption. Instead of showing drunken Finns, the final episode of Finnish Favorite Hobbies reveals few typical Finnish drink recipes. Drinks like Lonkero and Kossuvissy have been helping Finns to get drunk for decades.

Finnish Favorite Hobbies series is coming to its final episode. What would be more appropriate theme, than drinking and alcohol, which Finns are world famous for. At least in their own mind.

In addition to beer and cider, the base of local drinks is on clear liqueurs, like vodka and Koskenkorva - vodka type of drink with just a hint of sugar. The base ingredient is then flavored with all kinds of mixers. For example mixing vodka with mineral water will clarify the real taste of vodka, by diluting the burning sensation of alcohol.
