Schnapps
Schnapps is a type of alcoholic beverage that is often flavored. The term schnapps is derived from the German word "Schnaps," which means "swallow." In Germany and other parts of Central Europe, schnapps is used to refer to any strong distilled spirit. In the United States, schnapps is a type of liqueur that is often sweet and always flavorful.
History
The history of schnapps dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was first distilled by monks in Germany and Switzerland. It was originally used for medicinal purposes, but it quickly became popular as a recreational drink. Today, schnapps is enjoyed in many parts of the world, and it is especially popular in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Production
Schnapps is produced by distilling fermented fruits, grains, herbs, or spices. The base of the schnapps can vary, but it is often made from rye or wheat. The flavor of the schnapps is then added during the second distillation process. This can be done by steeping the flavoring ingredients in the alcohol, or by adding natural or artificial flavors after the alcohol has been distilled.
Types of Schnapps
There are many different types of schnapps, each with its own unique flavor and characteristics. Some of the most popular types of schnapps include:
- Apple Schnapps: Made from fermented apples, this type of schnapps has a sweet, fruity flavor.
- Peach Schnapps: This type of schnapps is made from fermented peaches and has a sweet, fruity flavor.
- Peppermint Schnapps: Made from peppermint or spearmint, this type of schnapps has a strong, minty flavor.
- Cherry Schnapps: This type of schnapps is made from fermented cherries and has a sweet, fruity flavor.
Consumption
Schnapps is often consumed straight, but it can also be used as an ingredient in cocktails. In Germany and other parts of Central Europe, it is common to drink schnapps after a meal as a digestif.
