- At the very beginning of our trip we stopped in Helsinki, Finland to visit our friends from Finland that we met while in University. While we were in Helsinki, Joonas wanted us to try some Finnish liquors...
Joonas created this video for us, and you should definitely check out his channel FinnInCarmel.

We’re Nick and Sophia, a couple from Southern California! We currently on a year long backpacking adventure through Europe! After a year of working multiple jobs and some serious saving, we quit our jobs to follow our dreams of traveling the world! We created this channel to share our adventures and inspire others to see what this beautiful world has to offer. Our goal is to visit as many countries we can on a serious budget, and make new friends along the way! We’re so excited to share our journey with everyone, and we hope that we can inspire at least one person to go out and experience someplace new. So, follow our adventures, say hi, and enjoy the wild ride as we navigate Europe!
That Joonas has the look on his face that says "c'mon, let's drink already!" almost the whole video :D
Plus salmiakkikoskenkorva doesn't taste like candy - it tastes like känni.
LOL he was waiting on us the whole video 😂 He was excited to try all his favorite drinks and we were nervous... I mean excited lol
Nick & Soph I was laughing my ass off for seeing his eager face to drink. As a finn i can relate to his expression of please let me drink. Especially with salmiakkivodka, because it tastes like candy.
@@kalastaja774 there's hardly any alcohol in it, so its mostly candy
@@makeSX
What bargain bin salmari have you been drinking? I always drink the 32% version or you can make your own from 60% Vodka to end up with a nice smooth but strong 50% Salmari!
Joonas has the "Kotkan meripäivät" look.
Never knew this was a thing until I googled it. Now I'm ashamed I've missed this until now.
Kuullu hyviä juttuja Kotkan meripäivistä
Perkele.. Meripäivät is something that people from Kotka run away from.
Joonas looks like he's already drunk from the start
Lol we started the video off sober and then, well... by the end, different story lol
You can measure his drunkness from the redness of his nose
That's just how finns look.
@@kusivelho4733 not true
@@dykis6963 yes we do and it is also true that u can measure drunknes by the nose
Joonas looks like hes been at his summer house for a week and had straight week of drinking :D
Lol Something we did learn while we were with him, A lot of Fins have a summer home! Which is crazy cool!
he propably has
Joonas be like: Vettä se vaan on
Like a boss?
th-cam.com/video/g07y7riZDa4/w-d-xo.html
For English speakers: "It's just water"
noniii
Joonas is a comedic genius!
No arguments here! That man makes us laugh SO hard! We miss him!
Ah yes, I can definitely see he got the traditional size of a finnish shot glass. I can't wait for the Americans reaction when we bust out the full size glass.
"It smells like mouth wash"
"It is, but this time you swallow it"
LMAO
Salmiakkikossu does taste like candy. It's delicious. I don't get why foreigners say salmiakki tastes salty, I don't feel that. Salmari also is very sweet to me. Delicious. Good video!
Thank you for the kind words! Thats what Joonas was saying the same thing and hand a confused reaction when we didn't like it... I think we just are not used to a drink like that
True, I take a shot if I want something sweet.
@@NickandSoph If you mix hydrochloric acid and ammonia, you get salmiakki. Strange how you can mix two toxic substances and the result is nontoxic (I'm not meaning the alchohol version). But don't try this at home!
@hupi ukko salmiakkikossu almost went the 'absinthe way' in the mid-90s, ie. was nearly prohibited. Alcohol is not supposed to taste good in Finland.
@hupi ukko I actually have a bottle of 38% salmari
Joonas looks like he's allready having hangover
Tasottavia vaan
Joonas looks like typical finn after juhannus.
Koskenkorva is waaaaaay too easy to drink. Dangerously easy.
LOL! When we first head the combination of flavors we were seriously nervous.... But after trying it, we get it! It is pretty tasty 😁
Koskenkorva is low tier vodka so only right way to drink it just put it in freezer for couple hours
@@Mukis2k so low tier that it's not even called vodka, but just booze.
@@r2dezki Its not called vodka cause it is made differently than vodka is. Nothing to do with being a certain tier :D
@@Ex0rz It is vodka with added sugar, so it is not vodka.
Aattelin että tällä ois enemmän näyttökeroja :D
lol We wouldn't complain about more views 😂
Ehtii vielä ...........
Kohta on, kun näköjään läpäissyt alkorytmin ja päässyt pakotukseen
"If that's death, what is this then?"
"Cancer"
"These god damn influencers. Can we just drink already?"
I've given Jaloviina to my foreign friends too. American, Norwegian, Dutch, etc. Everyone has liked it. "So smooth!". Jaloviina is legit a tasty liquor.
Being half Finnish, I know Salmiakki looks a bit like old motor oil or crude oil, but it's actually quite nice. 🙂
Being 1/4 Finnish (Russian origin) by my mother's family, can attest it's quite a pleasure to drink although some people just absolutely refuse to drink it simply for how it looks lol
First I thought he was American as he actually talk good English but then he started to drink i reckon he was a finn!
Joonas be like: i don't feel anything, do you guys?
lol the answer was yes we do feel something 😂
Yeah, maybe Joonas could have added some history on a few of those. Koskenkorva is a national vodka brand and the Jaloviina is inspired by the "cut brandy/cognac" of war times and after when everything was rationed. It wasn't cut with water but with added vodka (probably from the Koskenkorva factory). So you got some brandy taste from it - and all the alcohol - but it wasn't real brandy.
The history would have absolutely been a nice touch! Thank you for the brief description of Jaloviina because we were having a tough time figuring out why those things were added to one another lol now it makes more sense!
Jaloviina was created in 1932 so it doesn't have anything to do with the war except that during rationing the mixture was basically just vodka with a splash of cognac to give it a nicer color.
@@TheSuspectOnFoot Poor mans brandy :)
@@59Lemony Real man's brandy ;)
also napue gin was selected as the best gin in world by the International Wine & Spirit Competition
joonas has absolute chad energy
You do shake salmiakki, when you are making some yourself. You just need some Turkish Pepper candy and vodka. Shove them into the bottle and keep shaking for a long time. Can't remember but I think it might have been a few hours even. I remember I helped when my dad was making some. I was sad because candy was being wasted and I was too young to drink it.
Damn... Candy being taken and you were too young to enjoy what was being made lol
The Finnish guy has been drinking a five days in a row
Lol 😂
Only five?
Looking this while eating liquorice icecream - salmiakki for life
Black liquorice ice cream lol
@@NickandSoph its delicious
Ka, Uunohan se siinä...
That was it lol
Salmiakki never fails to shock tourists :D
It bothers me though that it is always forcibly associated with licourice even though it has nothing to do with it. Salmiakki taste is based to ammonium chloride after all so i do get that it is not the Best possible image for candy, thus the whole salty Black licourice deception...
Suomalainen aamupala: kossukahvit, salmiakkia, ja naru kaulan ympäri
Unohit tupakan ja buranan
@@EdwardXD11 just joo
That Salmiakki one looks so good tho🥺🥺
Because it is
"It smells like mouth wash"
"Yeah, it is."
lmaoooooooo
Finnish goverment actually banned original Salmiakki Koskenkorva at mid 90's because teenagers drink it too much. In 2000's it came back but only 32% with much higher prize and smaller bottle.
Lukeeks tossa mukissa "vituiks" :D ?
"im only gonna drink a couple tonight"
my finnish friend:
Salmiakki is an acquired taste for sure but it's a local delicacy and we love anything with it. You can buy Salmiakki flavored water in Finland ffs. The booze is a classic, I love it and almost everyone I know loves it. It's like drinking a candy and getting shitfaced.
We noticed when we were the only ones who didnt like it lol! Everyone was enjoying it and looking forward to having it! We definitely didn't look like locals! 😂
After youve drank Gambina, nothing will phase you anymore
Budjetti kossu
"Do you shake it?" "shake what?" "oh shit yeah"
Koskenkorva "Salmari" goes well with Lonkero!
We didnt know that while we were there! Damn missed opportunity... Next time!
@@NickandSoph now you know! :) I think you´re able to get a proper "Lonkero" outside Finland too nowadays, but it´s ofc not widely available, plus the combo with "Salmari" can be a hard to find
So finnish i love it 😂 joking without laughing, Ppl thinking we crazy etc.
-Minkä tähden juot?
-Arkisin yhden tähden, mutta viikonloppuisin kolmen tähden.
They finnished it! :)
The drinks? of course we finished them! 😁
This was such a joy to watch as a half swede/finn. And I learned a new thing! Apparently there is a cool finnish gin! I need to test it.
Viina juodaan vikisemättä!
-Joonas
I wish he had you try 'Lakka' which is a cloudberry liqueur, really good, kinda sweet, and not too strong, 20-25%. I've tried to find it outside of Finland, but had no luck. If you have an Ikea near you, they sometimes have cloudberry jam if you're curious.
2 amatours 1 Proffs.. Finns rule in drinking business!!
%100 Amateurs lol 😂
Joonas näyttää Nasse-sedältä
Joonas is what we finns would call "äijä"

Before Salmiakki Koskenkorva (aka. "Salmari") was brought to market in 1993, Finns had to buy candy called Tyrkish Peber made by Fazer, put all the candy in a traditional Koskenkorva bottle and put the bottle (with the cap closed, of course) into a dishwasher. If you don't like Salmari, you're probably not going to like Tyrkish Peber candy either.
Also, what was the temperature of your drinks? I prefer having Salmari served around 2-4 °C.
You really should have tested the minttu with hot (or cold) chocolate..
Also, I think Jallu was birn during war times when coniac was spares and got diluted with koskenkorva. There are 1, 2 and 3 star Jallu, 2 only being manufactured occasionally. The stars tell the mixing ratio.
Oh, and I hope you had some lonkero too, which is very finnish - originally made for Helsinki Olympics. (gin+grapefruit)
We had some minttu with hot chocolate off camera... DAMN that is a GOOOOD mixture! We can see that being really tasty In the cold weather! We did not try Lonkero tho didnt even hear about it while we were there...
Salmari (salmiakki kossu) on perkeleen hyvää. Nomnomnomnom
you should have given joona liquor with 95% alcohol to give a even ground xD
Hulvatonta, huomaa kyllä ilman ääniäkin kuka on suomalainen :D
Hahahahaha näin on 😂😂😂
I'd say the go to is coca-cola with jaloviina. But you need the 1 star regular jaloviina, it's more cut than 3 star I believe. 3 star is quite fancy special jaloviina. Some people drink it mixed with sour milk, believe it or not. Supposedly pretty tasty.
yeah. OJ suits soooo well with all of these drinks..
It was the only thing that could have been used a chaser lol honestly it made everything much worse...
Yeah. All us Finns would know that. Know your poison 😅 but really funny video and priceless reactions. That chaser wound have worked with all sort of vodkas and gins ect.
Joonas looks like he were having like a week of "kalsarikännit"
And the Finnish guy was drunk from the beginning...... At least he looked like it.....
Hahahahaha Good one, 😂😂😂
Kolmen tähden jallu, vaarantava virhe!
Minkä tähden?
@@akivak4660 Yhden tähden
3:20 what tf are you thinking joonas
He really made you drink the Finnish way :D And nice mug, pretty sure that wasn't there by accident.
His Japanese imitation :'D
Im glad I wasn't drinking anything when he did that lol I would have spit everything out! 😂
The look on your face when your american friends dont like salmiakki koskenkorva 8:35
You DO NOT leave anything in the glass or bottle ! ...............
ISOKYRÖ *Japanese anime intesifies* laughed so hard at that =D
Thank God - You All Liked IT ! First You just like IT but after two weeks You Start to LOVE SALMIAKKA ! Good were a Good Sport & You Have gained World Wide Audience ! This same IS done in Japan & Korea & South Africa & Canada & Ireland - so salmiakki IS soon a taste known like Pizza 🍕 ?
Can y'all ask where Joonas got that Vituiks cup from? It's funny :D
Salmiakkikossu and Minttu should be in a freezer until their viscosity changes.
Did Joonas use previous night practising for the video?
7:06 looks like they are having flashbacks of their life.
Next the most finnish drink, Sahti.
We still have so much we need to try lol
Olis kiva nähdä nämä ihmiset loppuillasta :D
Ei kun suomen yöhön vaan :D
@@Noisius Olen mä siellä käynyt riittämiin. Mutta kyse olikin näistä ihmisistä.
Ryypännyt stadista Raaheen :D
If anyone hasn't mentioned it yet; they stopped selling the black stuff because it was too popular with underage drinkers. Probably brought back because everyone just started mixing their own with candy and vodka. And underage drinking stayed the same
Those are some big glasses looool
What a way to Finnish a day
Eikö se salmari uppoa ulkomaalaisilla😂😂 vitu läppä nähä ku suomalaine opettaa juomaa
I befriended some czech students back in the day and they always wanted to buy me and my friends vodka shots when we were in a bar. The only effective way to stop them from buying us drinks was to start offering them salmiakkivodka shots as revenge...
In nature, never drink pitch black ocean water.
you should have tried gambina
Ah yes, big G. The elixir of the gods. The ruby red avenger.
I feel like there is SO much we still need to try! What does Gambina tase like?
@@NickandSoph It is supposed to be a mix of vermouth and gin. It's one of those drinks that you either love or hate 😁
@@PRXCYXN Ohh yea.... Vermouth is a polarized drink lol 😂 either you love it or hate it! We need to try it and see where side of the spectrum we sit on!
Hahaha , that was fun to watch ! 👍😁
I heard you were talking shit about salmiakki kossu.
Salty licorice is very popular in Scandinavia. And it seems that it's ooonly in Scandinavia 🤣
Sorry, but since i saw this i have to correct you. Finland is not part of Scandinavia, Finland is part of Fennoscandia.
Joonas is the kind of bro I'd drink with hahaha mahtava, kippis!
Koskenkorva is like moonshine!
You can really see the alcohol kicking in after the second round of shots. =P
lol yea you can! The wheels are Turing but we have one hand steering 😂
You can use that Salmiakki Koskenkorva to make atleast one good shot. It's half Salmiakki and half Bailey's. You need to layer them. Bottom half salmiakki and top Bailey's
Okk getting fancy with the layering! I like it😁 We are back in California rn and we are not sure where to get Salmiakki lol or maybe we just don't want to look for it 🤢😂
@@NickandSoph I bet there is some Nordic Store that sells it. There is few drinks that has Salmiakki Koskenkorva in them. One is Red Bull with that. It's like shot of Salmiakki Koskenkorva and can of Red Bull in a glass. We call it "Red Fish"
Americans being badass until salmari. And then there is Joonas who takes it like water! Torille perkele :D
Koskenkorva salmiakki shots are the best.
happiest finnish man
oh dear.... you realy need to get a weekend in europe and try diferent liquers ;)
next time ask joonas if he can make some kilju
Love minttu❤It tastes good and your breath stays fresh 😂
Takes a shot of koskenkorva salmiakki
The Finnish guy was already drunk when they started. 😅
13 Swedish fannybandits + Iackeys of the Russian dwarf Putin didn't like this video.
kossu you drink pocket warm. it tastes awful, but that is the rule.
Jonas drinks a lot. I can tell
looking his face.
Joonas is the best TBH
Comeon! Salmiakki ain't THAT bad! :D Love it!
laughing at americans in german
You guys have to taste saarenmaa and koskenkorva
Is that a combination of the two?
The nastiest thing I can imagine is like... Bread with fucking jam. Salt is the meaning oflife. I have garlic salt in my backback all the time. (for real).
not even sauna warm jaloviinaa, you're missing out.
where is gambina
why start with minttu? And vodka after?
lol We didnt pick the order... Blame that on Joonas lol We were just along for the ride!
