What is the flavor difference between peppermint vodka and peppermint schnapps? I really can't find anyone online describing the two. Thanks!

Hi! The schnapps will be a stronger mint flavor than the peppermint vodka. The reason for this is that vodka is distilled many times over, while schnapps is distilled fewer times resulting in a stronger flavor payoff. I myself prefer peppermint vodka over peppermint schnapps. Because peppermint is such a strong flavor to begin with, peppermint schnapps tastes a bit like toothpaste to me..just a little too much flavor.
