Peppermint Schnapps is a liqueur which has a taste somewhat similar to that of a candy cane. Its flavor is similar to Creme de Menthe, but is not as sweet and is generally clear in color.

There are many peppermint schnapps brands available at the market, at various prices and qualities. The choice of which one to purchase may depend on your budget and your intended purpose. For example, if you plan to drink the schnapps straight without a mixer, you may want to invest in a nicer, expensive schnapps. On the other hand, if you want to make peppermint schnapps cocktails, or plan to use it as part of a recipe for cooking, then you would probably be ok purchasing a more reasonably priced, or cheap schnapps which doesn’t necessarily require a light, smooth taste.
