Peach Schnapps Low Carb Information

Peach schnapps, apricot schnapps, butterscotch schnapps. All of these alcoholic drinks are tasty - but are they low carb?

First off, schnapps are supposed to be distilled fruit. So just like you make a wine from grapes, you should make a peach schnapps by mashing up peaches, distilling the sugar in them into alcohol and you end up with a lightly flavored peach "brandy" in essence. There shouldn't be any sugar added in, or extra alcohol added in. You should get a gentle flavor with the alcohol. Kirschwasser is another example - that's cherry schnapps from Germany.

In modern times, many "peach schnapps" are peach flavor and sugar added to rum or vodka :) Because of this they are RARELY low carb.

Here's an example - this information came directly from the DeKuyper team in response to my request.

DeKuyper® Peachtree® Schnapps

If you have a particular schnapps you're interested in, let me know and I'll try to get its details for you.
