Peach schnapps is always a liquor cabinet staple in our house. The cocktail combinations are endless! If you're looking for a clear fruity, sweet liqueur, this is definitely a good one! Check out this list of tasty peach schnapps drinks you'll want to serve at your next cocktail party!
"Schnapps" are a type of alcoholic beverage that's made by adding fruit syrups, like my blackberry syrup, spices, or artificial flavorings to neutral grain spirits. You can think of it as a fruit brandy.
If you love peach flavor, try my Frose recipe or Peach Spritzer, both made with peaches. Or try my limoncello spritz which is a light citrusy summer drink.
There are many different types out there but I have to say PEACH schnapps is my favorite kind. Like my Passion Fruit Vodka Martini Cocktail, it's fruity, sweet and screams summertime!
