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 sinister 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", which apparently refers to an amphetamine, as it "would sharpen you up". By serving milk (instead of alcohol), the bar is able to serve intoxicating libations to minors.
