99 Brand Peppermint
99 Brand Peppermint is a 49.5% ABV (99 proof), 750mL peppermint schnapps liqueur from Sazerac's 99 Brand range — the line named for its proof, built to deliver one flavour at full intensity. That flavour is cool peppermint: candy-cane sweetness on the nose, crisp mint on the palate, and a long, icy cooling finish that still carries the warmth of its strength. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Mint at Maximum
Peppermint schnapps usually arrives as a gentle holiday mixer; the 99 Brand version is that flavour with the volume turned up — at 99 proof the mint reads sharper, colder and longer, with a touch of vanilla softening the edges in detailed tasting notes. It is the range's winter workhorse: holiday cocktails, spiked hot chocolate, and freezer-chilled shots. Find it among our liqueurs, browse the spirits shelf, or see the 99 Brand vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Candy-cane peppermint, sweet and bright. Palate: Crisp, sharply minty with a touch of vanilla and underlying sweetness. Finish: Long and icy-cooling, with noticeable warmth from the proof.
How to Enjoy
Serve it freezer-chilled as a shot, stir it into peppermint martinis and holiday cocktails, or add a measure to hot chocolate for a peppermint-patty style mug.
