Information
has glosseng: Karsk is a Norwegian name for coffee with added liquor, usually moonshine or vodka, and maybe a spoon of sugar (enthusiasts often consider moonshine exclusively to be appropriate as an added component, as it has no inherent taste like other liquors). In Norway, the term Karsk is predominantly used in the mid-region of the country (Trøndelag, roughly corresponding to the counties of Nord-Trøndelag and Sør-Trøndelag), while it may be referred to with other terms in other parts of the country. For instance, it may also be referred to as kaffedoktor ("Coffee doctor"); this is for instance a popular designation in the county of Hedmark. In Northern Norway it may also be referred to as rotar, though some would use these terms (kaffedoktor and rotar) exclusively about a variety where sugar is added with the coffee. In Sweden it is called kask or kaffekask and is mainly drunk in the central and northern parts. Alcohol content is a matter of personal taste, and can vary from 10 to 96%. The word karsk means fresh or quick .
