context_page_description: Marskin ryyppy is a strong alcoholic drink of Finnish origin, served as a snaps. The drink is named after Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, the Marshal of Finland. According to all sources it is important that the glass where the drink is served is poured as full as possible; the glass is then to be emptied without spilling. This practice is said to originate in the Chevalier Guard where Mannerheim once served; every man was entitled to one shot of vodka per day, and through this practice everyone was assured the equal maximum amount. Marskin ryyppy must also be served ice-cold.
context_section_description: The drink was originally created by Mannerheim's adjutant Ragnar Grönvall after the Marshal asked him to do something about the horrible flavour of the low quality vodka available during the Continuation War in the early 1940s. The goal was to mask the taste of cheap vodka by adding a dash of more expensive ingredients into the mix.
