“DeKuyper Peach Schnapps Liqueur, A classic. This liqueur is bursting with the taste of tree-ripe peaches and makes a mean cocktail.”
The Peachtree mini (50 ml) comes in an ordinary, amber plastic bottle. Cracking it open reveals an amazing peach fragrance and I swear I can even smell the peach fuzz! Nice! And the first sip reveals – wow! I think I can taste the peach fuzz! Which is weird because nobody likes to taste actual peach fuzz… Hmmm… Anyway, I digress. I could drink this stuff straight quit easily, oh yes. Peachy keen, I love it! Are all Schnapps this good? Why haven’t I tried these before?
Apparently it’s a keeper…
Pouring it over ice in my rocks glass shows it to be a clear liquid. I pour in about as much orange juice as there is Peachtree and stir with my yellow “Stolen From Joe’s Crab Shack” crab opener thingy and viola! This stuff is delicious, hallelujah! Oh boy, I could drink a lot of this far too easily… Let’s go find some recipes!

Ha, ha! I love that they put the skill level on their drinks! I wonder what goes into an expert drink… let me see if I can find one… Hmmm, they call them “Advanced” and it just seems to be more ingredients, not any special techniques to making the drinks. Meh, whatever.
This is Great Stuff, I can’t wait to try the other flavors! Now on to the nuts and bolts of it:
Bottle Esthetics: Amber plastic, very ordinary. A solid “Meh”.
Scent: A lovely peachy, super peachy scent. Mmmm…
Viscosity: Water thin.
Taste: Even better than it smells. Like a fresh peach.
Versatility: Extremely. Great on it’s own or in any mixed drink that would benefit from a peach flavor.
