Peach Schnapps
Peach Schnapps is a peach-flavoured variant of the Schnapps alcoholic drink.
Schnapps may take several forms:
- Distilled Fruit Brandy.
- Herbal Liqueurs.
- Infusions – i.e. the process of extracting flavours from plant material in solvent such as water, oil, or in the case of Schnapps – alcohol.
- Flavour Liqueurs – this is where Peach Schnapps comes in.
The word Schnapps is a German term that refers to any kind of strong Alcoholic drink and over the years has become known as a style of drink. More about that here.
For Peach Schnapps, we recommend:
Blue Curaçao
Blue Curaçao is a liqueur flavoured with the dried peel of the Laraha citrus fruit, which is then artificially coloured blue for effect.
It’s a great ingredient to use in cocktails because it pretty much has everything you could ever want as a cocktail mixer:
- It has an enticing colour.
- It has a bitter orange taste that blends well with most flavours.
- It has a great amount of alcohol in it.

For Blue Curacao, we recommend:
Vodka
We compared 12 different brands of Vodka and determined that Smirnoff was the overall best option. Given the current climate with Russia, that may seem like a questionable choice, but Smirnoff isn’t made in Russia, it’s made all over the world.
It actually has a history of Russian persecution and the creators were forced to flee Russia.
