Snaps drinking in Sweden, early 20th century.
In Denmark and Sweden, snaps (pronounced[ˈsnaps]in Danish and Swedish) is a small shot of a strong alcoholic beverage taken during the course of a meal.
In Denmark, a snaps will always be akvavit, although there are many varieties of it. In Sweden, snaps is a more general term; it is usually akvavit, although it may also be vodka, bitters/bitter liqueurs or some other kind of brännvin/brændevin. Spirits such as whisky or brandy are seldom drunk as snaps. One of Finland's strongest alcohol drinks served with snaps is Marskin ryyppy, named after Marshal C. G. E. Mannerheim.[1]
The word "snaps" also has the same meaning as German Schnapps (German:[ʃnaps]), in the sense of "any strong alcoholic drink".[2]
