Top Shelf Strawberry Schnapps

Top Shelf Strawberry Schnapps is a 50ml Still Spirits Top Shelf liqueur flavouring. With a Schnapps Liqueur Base and 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka it makes 1.125 litres of finished liqueur. Still Spirits describes it as "Refreshing with juicy strawberry notes."

What it tastes like

A strawberry liqueur with the fresh fruit character and a pink colour, sweet enough to drink on its own over ice and useful in a strawberry daiquiri or with sparkling wine.

How to make it

Make up the Schnapps Liqueur Base as per the pack, shake this bottle and add it with 650ml of 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka, then top up to 1.125 litres with water. It is ready to pour the same day.

The spirit can be bought vodka or your own neutral spirit off an Air Still Pro or Turbo 500. Because a liqueur is sweet, it is more forgiving of a base spirit than a straight vodka essence is, but a carbon-filtered spirit still gives a cleaner result.

When to choose this one

Choose this over the Peach Schnapps for a summer cocktail base or for topping sparkling wine. Same Schnapps Base and 650ml of spirit as the other schnapps flavours. The full set is on the Top Shelf essences collection.
