Old-fashioned soda-fountain root beer at a bold 99 proof.
What it is
99 Brand Root Beer Schnapps Liqueur is a flavored liqueur 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 root beer flavor and sweetener
- Bottled at 99 proof, much stronger than most schnapps, which usually sit between 30 and 50 proof
Tasting notes
- Nose: root beer, sassafras and vanilla
- Palate: sweet, creamy root beer with a hot spirit kick
- Finish: medium length, with vanilla and wintergreen
Serving and pairing
Pour chilled as a shot, top with cola or cream soda, or float it over vanilla ice cream for an adult root beer float. Good with burgers, barbecue or soft pretzels.
