Peach Schnapps
What is Peach-Schnapps?
Peach-schnapps is a clear, distilled spirit made by fermenting and distilling peaches. The result is then sweetened, giving the liqueur its characteristic sugary and fruity flavor. While it has a lower alcohol content compared to stronger spirits like vodka or rum, typically around 15-20% alcohol by volume (ABV), it packs a strong peachy punch that makes it ideal for cocktails and mixed drinks.
The term "schnapps" itself originates from Germany, where it refers to a broad category of strong alcoholic beverages. In German-speaking countries, schnapps can be made from different fruits such as apples, pears, or cherries. However, American peach-schnapps, especially the variety used in cocktails, tends to be much sweeter and less potent than traditional German schnapps.
