A strong, clear alcoholic spirit, usually between 32 and 50 percent alcohol, often flavored with fruits or spices.
From German 'Schnaps,' derived from Low German 'snappen' meaning to snatch or bite. The name reflects the practice of taking quick drinks of this strong alcohol.
German schnapps comes in wild flavors like 'Butterscotch' and 'Plum,' but the oldest and strongest traditional schnapps is made in the Alsace region and is so pure it's almost invisible—like drinking liquid fire.
