Korova Milk Bar

Korova Milk Bar

The Korova Milk Bar ("korova" is Russian for "cow") appears in the novel and film "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess, twisting the milk bar into a less innocent place.

The bar serves milk laced with drugs. The protagonist and narrator Alex lists some of the (fictitious) ingredients one can request: vellocet (LSD), synthemesc (synthetic mescalines), drencrom (adrenochrome.) For another ingredient he uses the phrase (drink the milk) "with knives in it," as it "would sharpen you up".cite book
