DeKuyper Peach Schnapps
DeKuyper Peach Schnapps is the back-bar classic for everything peach — a 30-proof (15% ABV) peach-flavored liqueur in a 750mL bottle from the brand bartenders have trusted since 1695. Sweet, juicy, and unmistakably peach, it is the foundational pour for the Fuzzy Navel, the Peach Bellini, and the peach Margarita, and the mixer that built the peach-schnapps category. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Peach That Started It All
DeKuyper has made cordials since 1695, and its peach schnapps became the reference point for the whole category — one bottle that turns vodka and orange juice into a Fuzzy Navel or sparkling wine into a Peach Bellini. At 30 proof it is built for mixing, not for the rocks glass. See the DeKuyper collection or browse Del Mesa's cocktail mixers.
Tasting Notes
Straightforward and sunny — ripe peach flesh, light sweetness, and a clean candy-peach finish, with no burn to get in the way of a cocktail (brand description).
How to Enjoy
Mix, don't sip: 1 oz peach schnapps + 3 oz orange juice over ice is the Fuzzy Navel; swap the juice for sparkling wine for a Peach Bellini. It also sweetens iced tea and lemonade.
