Cool, candy-cane peppermint at a bold 99 proof, a holiday-season favorite.
What it is
99 Brand Peppermint Schnapps is a flavored schnapps bottled at 99 proof (49.5% ABV) in a 750 ml bottle. The 99 range is known for bold, high-proof flavor, and the same liquid is sold in the popular 50 ml minis.
Where and how it's made
- Produced in the United States by the Sazerac Company, the owner of the 99 Brand line
- Made from neutral grain spirit blended with peppermint flavor and sweetener
- Bottled at 99 proof, much stronger than most schnapps, which usually sit between 30 and 50 proof
Tasting notes
- Nose: fresh peppermint and candy cane
- Palate: sweet and icy mint with a strong spirit warmth
- Finish: long and cooling, with lingering mint
Serving and pairing
Serve ice-cold as a shot, stir into hot chocolate or coffee, or shake into a chocolate-mint martini. Pairs with brownies, chocolate cake or after-dinner mints.
