Peach schnapps (optional)
Description
Peach schnapps is a sweet, intensely fruity liqueur with a distinct aroma of fresh peaches, usually light golden or slightly pink in color, with a creamy, syrupy consistency and an alcohol content typically in the range of 15–30% ABV. The flavor combines the natural sweetness and tartness of peaches with a gentle warmth from the alcohol, making it an easy and enjoyable addition to drinks and desserts. Nutritionally, the liqueur is a source of calories mainly from sugars and alcohol, providing few vitamins or minerals, so health benefits are limited; it is best used in moderation as a flavor accent. It works well in cocktails (e.g., Bellini, Fuzzy Navel), desserts, sauces, toppings, and marinades, as well as for flavoring ice creams, creams, and fruit salads. Store in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed; once opened, it can be kept in the refrigerator to maintain its fresh aroma, and should be consumed within one to two years.
