Because making this delightful concoction takes some time, it's best to introduce it in a good time ahead. Read carefully - this is the genuine one, whatever your friends tell you.
Salmari was invented by a bartender (later becoming a public figure and a Tango Queen in Finland) on a Helsinki-Stockholm Cruise Ship - year was one of the late 80's. Out of the White and Red lines cruising the abyss that time, it happened on the Red one. Mooses was not involved with the moment of creation.
The original recipe:
An Export Bag of Tyrkisk Peber Candy (app. 250 gr, not the household 180 gr - more is better, less makes the stuff too thin)1/2 liters of Vodka (use Koskenkorva or make it on Finlandia or Stolichnaya. Absolutely not with Absolut!)
Crush the candy - easy with a food processor. Take a clean bottle of about 0,75 - 1,00 liters, pour the candy-crush into it (use a funnel), add the Vodka. Shake.
Every day, shake the bottle until all the candy has dispersed into the Vodka - it takes several days.
Chill well. Serve really cold using your nicest shot glasses. And yes of course, shake every time before you pour!
Serves: 2 Finns for one night or 6 Swedes for a weekend or 12 Italians for a week or 32 Japanese for a month or the City of Kansas for a year (including Toto).<--- Bette had one Salmari too many...or maybe twenty...Joan agrees.

Mooses says: You should play with your Alcohol!
And now a warning! Salmari is extremely unstable substance! You enjoy it and never know when it will explode in your brain. Parental Advisory Recommended! Too many shots also makes your skin smell odd the following morning.
PS. Mummon Tohveli (Grandma's Slipper) is 50/50 Salmari and Baileys layered in a shot glass, Salmari first, it's heavier, and do not stir! DIVINE!
