Question: what is the difference between creme de menthe and peppermint schnapps?
Answer: Though they're made in much the same way, there is a noticeable difference. Peppermint schnapps is less sweet, has a more intense mint flavor, and typically contains more alcohol. Crème de menthe is not creamy—crème refers to the thickness due to a lot of sugar—and it's almost too sweet to drink alone.
