About the Karsk
Karsk is a traditional Norwegian highball cocktail with coffee as its base and grain alcohol, creating a strong, straightforward drink. The combination results in a robust beverage that balances the bitterness of coffee with the potency of alcohol.
History
Karsk originated in the Trøndelag region of Norway and has been popular since the early 1800s. It is deeply embedded in Norwegian culture, particularly in rural areas and Trøndelag, where it's a common drink for locals.
