Apples have been used in the creation of schnapps ever since our European ancestors first came up with this wonderful, warming mountain drink, and we can confirm they make a heavenly schnapps!
Here in Australia, we are lucky to have orchards growing some of the best apples on earth – from the sweet delight of pink varieties to the sour bite of the Granny Smith.
Our pink lady apple schnapps is akin to biting into a freshly picked apple, and for many she’s the go-to option for schnapps on the rocks. But she’s also an incredibly versatile cocktail ingredient.
And our sour apple schnapps? This cult classic is made with green apples and pickled lemon to ramp up those deliciously tart elements. You’ll find this lip-smacking liquid in our Sour Apple Martini, plus a few other apple-inspired, cocktail ideas below like our Sour Mojito, so read on for ideas on how to create your own schnappy taste sensation.
The Sweetest Sour
