📜 History

Known as Karsk in Norway and kaffekask in Sweden, spiked coffee has been a Nordic tradition for centuries. Workers and farmers would add aquavit to their coffee for warmth during long, cold days. The drink remains popular at festive occasions and is traditionally served alongside holiday meals throughout Scandinavia.
