First of all what is Schnapps? This isn’t a true liqueur, something like a fruit brandy? Actually Schnapps is a type of distilled beverage. The word Schnapps is derived from the German word Schnaps and refers to usually clear alcoholic beverages distilled from fermented cereals, roots or fruits, including cherries (Kirschwasser), apples, pears, peaches, plums and apricots.
Schnapps is rather similar in flavour and consistency to vodka, with light fruit flavours, depending on the base material. The alcohol content is usually around 40% by volume. Here is some recipes of the most popular Schnapps.
