FAQs
Are white peaches different from regular peaches?
White peaches differ in color and taste. They have a lighter pink outer skin and a sweeter flavor than yellow peaches. If you can’t find white peaches, you can go ahead and use whatever peaches you can find.
What kind of alcohol is peach schnapps?
Schnapps is made with a base liquor – typically brandy – which is sweetened with fruit, syrups, and spices. Peach and peppermint schnapps are the most popular versions, at least in the U.S. If you don’t like schnapps and don’t care for it being a little extra boozy, you can use peach simple syrup in its place.
How do you drink peach schnapps?
It’s enjoyed as a liqueur that sweetens and flavors certain cocktails. It’s rarely ever sipped on its own. Mix it with orange juice to make a Fuzzy Navel, add it to vodka or gin to make a peach martini, or make a peach daiquiri with it!
