Indeed it does; a friend of mine adores that stuff, and due to arcane
import rules and state liquor laws he used to have me buy it for him
-- it couldn't be shipped directly to his home in North Carolina.
Now I forget what it's called.

That would be the Canadian name. The Finnish version is Lakkalikööri.
They berry is native to Canada as well as to northern Europe.

Apparently it's the French Canadian name. In English, it's usually
called 'bakeapple'.

None of those is the name of the liqueur I was trying to remember.

The bottle in our liquor cabinet says simply "Lapponia" and
"Lakka". It was purchased at an Alki in Finland.

The other Finnish berry liquer is mesimarja.

Lakka! That's it.

I have Cloudberry, Lingonberry & Arctic Brambleberry liqueurs from
Lapponia in my liquor cabinet. The Lingonberry has thrown a
considerable sediment & is probably not drinkable, but the others are
still fine.

I mentioned Lakkalikööri. Parse it out. "Lakka likööri". = Lakka
Liqueur.

There's Lapponia Cloudberry Liqueur (called just 'Lakka' in Finnish),
which apparently is exported to North America. Chymos also makes
'Lakka'.

Lakka or Lapponia Lakka, as far as I can recall. Of course, there may
have been another brand with another name exported to the US.
