Schnapps

Schnapps essences make it easy to create fruit, butterscotch, cinnamon and other sweet schnapps-style drinks from a suitable alcohol base. Some recipes use sugar and water, while others require a dedicated schnapps base, so check the individual product instructions before mixing.

Choosing a schnapps flavour

• Butterscotch: Compare Edwards Butterscotch Schnapps and Essencia Butterscotch Schnapps for rich toffee-style options.
• New Zealand fruit: Top Shelf Feijoa Schnapps offers a distinctive local fruit flavour.
• Classic fruit styles: Try Top Shelf Peach Schnapps for a familiar cocktail ingredient, or Top Shelf Pear Schnapps for something a little different.
• Warm and spicy: Top Shelf Hot Cinnamon Schnapps provides a bolder alternative to the sweeter fruit styles.

Check the finished volume and required alcohol strength on the essence. Where a product specifies a prepared schnapps base, use the matching option from our liqueur and schnapps bases rather than substituting another base type.
