Rumple Minze Peppermint Schnapps
Rumple Minze Peppermint Schnapps is the 100-proof (50% ABV) original — the German-style peppermint schnapps with the double-headed golden eagle on the bottle and a serious icy kick in the glass. Peppermint oils on a neutral grain spirit base give it a crisp, candy-cane-like mint with mentholic cooling and a slightly syrupy body; at 100 proof it drinks icy-hot. The classic freezer shot. In a 750mL bottle — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The 100-Proof Peppermint Classic
Rumple Minze launched in the US in the early 1980s, just as schnapps was getting trendy, and the peppermint original became the one everyone knows — served ice-cold, straight from the freezer. (Fun fact: despite the German presentation, it's largely unknown in Germany itself — America made it famous.) Browse the Rumple Minze range and our schnapps shelf.
Tasting Notes
Strong peppermint on the nose and palate — crisp, minty, smooth, with candy-cane sweetness and a bracing mentholic chill. The 100-proof heat lands as an icy burn rather than raw alcohol.
How to Enjoy
Keep it in the freezer and serve as an ice-cold shot, or as a digestif. It also mixes into chocolate and coffee drinks and works in holiday cocktails and desserts.
