Cherry Schnapps

A sweet, low-proof American-style cherry-flavored schnapps (typically 15-21% ABV) with intense maraschino-cherry candy character and a clean, sweet finish. Style examples include Dr McGillicuddy's Cherry, Arrow Cherry Schnapps, DeKuyper Cherry Pucker. Distinct from cherry-brandy/Heering-style cherry liqueurs (which are higher-proof, drier, with stone-fruit/almond complexity); cherry schnapps is the candy-cherry shot category used in shooters and sweet cocktails.
