DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker (75cl, 15%)

DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker is a sour apple schnapps liqueur at 15% ABV, widely credited with inspiring the Appletini cocktail in the mid-1990s. The DeKuyper family began producing liqueurs in the Netherlands in 1695, and production for the U.S. market now takes place domestically, including facilities in Kentucky. It is made with natural apple flavouring and achieves its electric-green hue and mouth-puckering tartness through a balance of sweet and sour components. The nose shows fresh green apple with juicy Granny Smith character and candy-like sweetness. The palate is sharply tart, then rounded by sugary sweetness, with a short to medium finish of sour apple candy and a crisp, slightly tangy aftertaste.
