I'm not Swedish, but my husband is. The shot you're talking about is not only
liquorice, but salted. I find it pretty foul, but he swears that girls in
Sweden crave that candy along with their chocolate. To make the drink, (and
someone else already said this) just dump a bag of it in a jelly jar and fill
with vodka. Wait till the candy melts into the vodka, pour into shot glasses
and drink. Skol! You can buy concentrate of it to add to vodka, but I don't
think you can get it here. There are a few versions, one of which is bright
blue and called Blue Fish or something. It's just the salt part that pisses me
off. We've got liquorice all over the house. And it's all salted. I mean
really. That's nasty.
The Midsummer thing is indeed all about aquavit (caraway vodka is the most
popular) and pickled herring. Usually outside, till all hours. Turkish Peppar
shots would not go to waste. Swedes don't know anything about moderation when
it comes to drinking. They pretty much just keep going till they fall over in
a bush. Which is funny and not a bad show, considering the fact that most of
them are far prettier than the rest of the world. Really drunk, really pretty
people. Plus, at Midsummer, it's broad daylight till at least 10pm, depending
where you are. So THAT'S always good times as well.
