Provided by Stormy Stewart

Categories     Cocktails

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/3 c white sugar
2 c corn syrup, light
2 c vodka
2 tsp peppermint extract

Steps:

  • 1. In a 2 quart pan over medium heat, combine sugar and corn syrup. Heat until sugar dissolves,stirring regularly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cool slightly and stir in vodka. Cover and allow to cool. Stir in peppermint extract. Pour into a sealable bottle.

Tips:

  • Use fresh peppermint leaves: Fresh peppermint leaves will give your schnapps the best flavor. If you can't find fresh peppermint leaves, you can use dried peppermint leaves, but you will need to use more of them to get the same flavor.
  • Infuse the schnapps for at least two weeks: The longer you infuse the schnapps, the more flavorful it will be. If you are short on time, you can infuse the schnapps for as little as one week, but it will not be as flavorful.
  • Use a high-proof vodka: A high-proof vodka will help to extract the flavors from the peppermint leaves more effectively. If you use a low-proof vodka, your schnapps will be less flavorful.
  • Sweeten the schnapps to taste: You can sweeten the schnapps with sugar, honey, or simple syrup. Add the sweetener a little at a time, tasting the schnapps as you go, until you reach the desired sweetness.
  • Serve the schnapps chilled: Peppermint schnapps is best served chilled. You can chill the schnapps in the refrigerator or freezer before serving.
