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.
