Sour-sweet green apple at a bold 99 proof, ready for shots and appletinis.
What it is
99 Brand Apple 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 green apple flavor and sweetener
- Bottled at 99 proof, much stronger than most schnapps, which usually sit between 30 and 50 proof
Tasting notes
- Nose: crisp green apple candy
- Palate: sweet and tart apple with a warm, spirited kick
- Finish: short and tangy, with a lingering apple-candy sweetness
Serving and pairing
Serve ice-cold as a shot, mix with vodka and a splash of lime for an appletini, or top with lemon-lime soda. Good alongside pork sliders, sharp cheddar or caramel desserts.
