Lapponia is a Finnish outfit that makes a cloudberry liqueur called "Lakka." They also make Lingonberry and I think Blueberry. None are available in the States, except on mail order from Europe (with insane shipping & handling fees). I picked up a bottle of Lakka while I was in London at Gerry's in Soho. The Whiskey Exchange at London Bridge also carries it.

I haven't tried this bottle yet, but I had a taste of cloudberry liqueur years ago which I still remember (a friend brought it back from Finland). But if you don't care for the cloudberry preserves from IKEA, then you probably won't like the liqueur.
