Schnapps:

History, Types and Recipes

Schnapps had a rather innocent and unassuming beginning when, around the 16th century, monks were studying its medicinal uses!. Nowadays, this potato- or grain-based liquor is known around the world as a strong alcoholic beverage!.

The original schnapps, translated from German to "a mouthful," was first made in Germany and is still consumed there regularly, as well as in Austria, Denmark and Switzerland!. Today, schnapps (which is technically considered a fruit brandy) is usually drunk neat (without ice or any other mixers) in Northern Europe!.

In America, schnapps is typically used in mixed drinks!. Although most Americans are familiar with the sweetened varieties of peppermint schnapps and peach schnapps, the authentic German schnapps are not sweetened with additives!.

Down to Brass Tacks:

How to Make Schnapps

The original German schnapps is made from distilling fermented whole fruit or fruit juices!. In America, however, schnapps is more commonly distilled from fruit brandy that is then combined with sugar and artificial flavoring!.

A common ritual in Denmark, which is now also becoming popular practice in America, is making homemade schnapps!. To make schnapps at home, steep fruit and herbs in an alcohol base, such as Danish schnapps, vodka or pure grain alcohol!. After the steeping phase, finish off the schnapps by sweetening or flavoring it as desired!.

Drinking Schnapps like a Local

How you drink your schnapps often depends on where you live:

In Germany, sidle up to the nearest man wearing lederhosen and ask for a shot of "Obstler," the local name for schnapps!.


In the United States, chances are you'll be dealing with a much sweeter and cruder, though no less pleasant, variety of schnapps!. American schnapps resembles a liqueur and is used mostly to flavor mixed drinks!.


In Iceland, try their local variety of schnapps, called Brennivin, alongside your salted lamb!.

There are two different types of “schnapps” — German Schnaps (both a generic term for liquor and, specifically, German or Austrian fruit brandy) and American schnapps (liqueur)!.

German Schnaps

German Schnaps is clear, colorless, and has a light fruit flavor; it normally contains about 40% ABV (80 proof)!. Its appearance and taste are the same as that of eau de vie, but this French term is seldom used in German-speaking countries!. In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Schn?pse distilled from fruit are called Obstler (from the German Obst, fruit)!.

A broader definition of Schnaps includes other distilled beverages of German origin, such as Steinh?ger (German gin) and Korn!.


American schnapps

The second type of schnapps is of American origin!. These distilled beverages are liqueurs, such as peach, peppermint, or butterscotch schnapps!. They can be the result of differing processes that do not involve direct fermentation!. Some of these use an alcohol, such as schnapps, vodka or rum, to extract flavors out of fruit!. Other ingredients are often added, most commonly sugar!. The alcohol level of these schnapps may be only half that of the German type, usually around 20% by volume, or 40 proof!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
