RECIPE TIPS
SNAPS
Swedes call all strong liquors ‘snaps’ and are particularly fond of them neat with fish and seafood. This cocktail uses a punchy aquavit scented with caraway, aniseed and fennel, which works well with apple and cinnamon. If you can’t find aquavit, quality gin is a good substitute.
