Clear color. Aromas and flavors of peppermint, vanilla nougat, and candy cane with a glycerous, lively, fruity medium body and a warming, appealing, medium-length finish with shades of peppermint, candy cane, and wintermint. Holds the ABV very well and balances rich peppermint flavor without becomingly cloyingly sweet; minty fresh.

Schnapps Liqueur

Spirits Glass Shot Clear.jpg
Serve in a Shot Glass
Schnapps is a general term used for an assortment of white and flavored spirits that have originated in northern countries or regions such as Germany or Scandinavia. Schnapps can be made from grain, potatoes, or molasses and be flavored with virtually anything (Watermelon and Root Beer Schnapps from the United States being proof of that). The dividing line between Schnapps and Flavored Vodka is vague and is more cultural than stylistic, although European Schnapps tend to be drier than their American counterparts and liqueurs.
