Peach schnapps Cocktails
9 drinks with this bottle, from the easy ones up.
What goes with Peach schnapps?
Orange juice, and you're done. Peach and orange is the Fuzzy Navel, and it takes no skill at all. Add vodka and cranberry and you've got a Sex on the Beach. Iced tea and lemonade both make good long drinks, and a small splash in prosecco is a shortcut to a Bellini.
What does it taste like?
Sweet ripe peach, like peach candy or canned peaches in syrup.
Which bottle should I buy?
DeKuyper Peachtree is the usual US bottle, and Archers is the usual pick in the UK.
Goes well with
A sweet peach liqueur, usually around 15 to 20% ABV, though a few bottles go much stronger. Despite the name, it's nothing like the dry fruit schnaps of Germany. Crème de pêche or another peach liqueur is the direct swap, or use peach nectar with a splash of vodka.
Questions
What do you mix peach schnapps with?
Orange juice is the classic, and cranberry juice, iced tea and lemonade all work. It's sweet, so pick something sharp or use plenty of ice.
Is peach schnapps strong?
Not very. Most bottles are around 15 to 20% ABV, about half the strength of vodka, though a few are much stronger, so check the label.
Is peach schnapps the same as peach liqueur?
Near enough. Peach schnapps is a sweet peach liqueur in all but name, so they swap fine. Traditional German schnaps is a different thing, dry and much stronger.
