Lakka

:"Lakka is also the name of one of three main villages within Paxi, Greece.":"Lakka is also the name used by users and popular culture of the drug Gamma-Butyrolactone or GBL in Finland."

Lakka or Lakkalikööri is a liqueur produced in Finland which derives its flavor from the cloudberry fruit. The word "Lakka" means cloudberry in Finnish.

The beverage is produced by soaking the berries in alcohol anywhere between two to six months until sweetened, and is branded by Chymos and Lapponia, both of which are distributed by the Swedish-owned V&S Group, best known for its Absolut Vodka product. Lakka Liqueur is also produced by Finnish family-owned company Lignell&Piispanen. They produce Lakka Liqueur and also fortified Lakka Wine.

The liqueur can be drunk as it is, but is also often mixed with hot coffee.
