Schnapps

German distilled spirit

Schnapps is a strong distilled spirit, typically clear and often fruit-flavored.

In German-speaking countries, it refers to any strong liquor, including unflavored varieties like grain alcohol.

In American usage, schnapps usually means a sweet, flavored liqueur: peppermint schnapps, peach schnapps.

We did shots of schnapps after dinner.
