The '''Korova Milk Bar''' (''korova'' is [[Russian language|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 (A Clockwork Orange)|Alex]] lists some of the ([[fictitious]]) ingredients one can request: vellocet ([[LSD]]), synthemesc (synthetic [[mescaline]]s), drencrom ([[adrenochrome]].) For another ingredient he uses the phrase (drink the milk) "with knives in it," as it "would sharpen you up".<ref name="Burgess">{{cite book | title = A Clockwork Orange | edition = Reissue | last = Burgess | first = Anthony | coauthors = | year = 1986 | publisher = W.
