Top Shelf Peach Schnapps

Top Shelf Peach Schnapps is a 50ml Still Spirits Top Shelf liqueur flavouring. With a Schnapps Liqueur Base and 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka it makes 1.125 litres of finished liqueur. Still Spirits describes it as "A sweet aroma with notes of fresh peach."

What it tastes like

The peach schnapps that goes into a fuzzy navel or a sex on the beach, sweet and clear with the fresh peach on the nose. It is the schnapps most cocktail recipes call for, so it is the one to make first if you are stocking a home bar.

How to make it

Make up the Schnapps Liqueur Base as per the pack, shake this bottle and add it with 650ml of 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka, then top up to 1.125 litres with water. It is ready to pour the same day.

The spirit can be bought vodka or your own neutral spirit off an Air Still Pro or Turbo 500. Because a liqueur is sweet, it is more forgiving of a base spirit than a straight vodka essence is, but a carbon-filtered spirit still gives a cleaner result.

When to choose this one

Choose this over the Pear or Strawberry Schnapps for cocktails, since most classic recipes call for peach. Same base, same spirit volume, so making two flavours at once is easy. The full set is on the Top Shelf essences collection.
