복분자 술, Korean raspberry liquor
The first time i had it (well, the only time), i asked what the name means, and i was told that it means something like "flip the pot"....according to the folklore, there was once a man who went up into the mountains and ate a lot of raspberries, and then later, when he had to make use of the chamberpot, his stream of urine came out with so much force that the pot flipped over. Or something like that. So eating raspberries--or, even better, drinking them in distilled form--will make you strong and healthy. Logical conclusion, I say. ;) But the stuff is really fantastic, and would make a really lovely summer cocktail or punch :)
