Salmari is a Finnish salmiak liqueur with a distinctive Dutch-Finnish story. The brand grew from an idea by Finn Taavi Suorsa, who after moving to the Netherlands found that existing alcoholic salmiak drinks did not quite match the intense flavour he knew from Finland. This inspired him to develop a recipe of his own, with production of Salmari beginning in Finland in 2016.

The liqueur is made in Finland according to its own recipe and revolves entirely around salmiak, the characteristic Northern European combination of liquorice and ammonium chloride. This gives Salmari its deep black colour and pronounced sweet-salty character. At 25% ABV, it clearly belongs to the world of liqueurs, but with a far more intense and individual flavour profile than traditional sweet styles.

Salmari is best known as an ice cold shot, although it can also be enjoyed over ice or used in cocktails. From its Dutch base, the brand developed into an international ambassador for Finnish salmiak culture, giving a distinctly Scandinavian flavour tradition a modern identity.
