Yorsh (Russian: ёрш) is a Russian drink consisting simply of beer thoroughly mixed with an ample quantity of vodka. As a neutral spirit, the vodka does not greatly alter the flavor of the beer, but greatly increases the alcohol content. Yorsh is traditionally drunk in a social setting, typically with a toast followed by downing a full glass of yorsh at one go.
