Schnider Cocktail Recipe

That’s not a typo – this drink really is called the Schnider, and it’s spelled that way because it’s a pun on schnapps and cider. Which is all you’ll find in this particular recipe!

The result is a golden cocktail with a little bit of bubbling and a lot of peach and apple flavor. It’s fruity but not super-sweet, so you can enjoy this pretty much anytime. It’s charmingly simple and unsophisticated, and the flavors are mellow and easy going down.

What It Tastes Like

The Schnider cocktail is a satisfying balance of sweet and tart flavors that play together beautifully on your palate. The peach schnapps brings a burst of juicy peach flavor and a hint of sweetness.

As you take a sip, the crisp cider follows, adding a refreshing fizz that brightens up the entire experience. The combination of flavors creates a refreshing cocktail that keeps you coming back for more.

Key Ingredients

Now that you know what to expect in terms of taste, let’s break down the two main ingredients that make this cocktail so special.

Peach Schnapps: This sweet liqueur is made by infusing neutral spirits with luscious peach flavors. It’s fruity, fragrant, and adds that delightful sweetness that defines the Schnider cocktail. DeKuyper Peachtree is a great choice for this drink, with its intense peach flavor.

Hard Cider: The other half of this delightful duo is cider. It adds just the right amount of tartness to balance the sweetness from the schnapps. Angry Orchard and Strongbow are both good choices in this drink.

Perfect Food Pairings for Your Schnider Cocktail

What makes this drink particularly appealing is that it’s light enough to be enjoyed on its own but also pairs beautifully with many dishes.

Tender roasted pork or chicken is perfect with a Schnider cocktail. The earthy flavors of grilled or roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes also work wonderfully with it.

And if you’re just looking for a baked treat, the warm spices in cinnamon-based desserts such as coffee cakes or snickerdoodles taste terrific with this refreshing drink. So do caramel or toffee desserts

When exploring food pairings, keep in mind the intensity of flavors. The Schnider cocktail’s delicate blend makes it an excellent companion for a wide variety of dishes, allowing you to get creative during mealtime.
