You can sum up the American idea of schnapps in a single sentence: Cocktail training wheels for the brand new bar patron.
But in Germany, schnapps (which comes from the word schnaps and means to "swallow") is dry, high proof, and distilled from either fruit, like brandy, or beer, like unaged whisky. The intention of the distillers is to render the fruit's essence into liquid form. Intended to be sipped neat after dinner, they're nothing like the brightly colored, sugary, and artificially flavored mixers.
Since it's in the same category as grappa, its no surprise that even more experienced drinkers find the dry, intense, and potent liquor a little challenging. Even the harshest critics might reconsider the liquor after trying some cocktails made with the liquor at Trocadero Club, Dennis Leary and Eric Passetti's bar in the Tenderloin.
