Rumple Minze is a German-style peppermint schnapps bottled at a potent 100 proof — intensely minty, crisp, and considerably stronger than the average peppermint liqueur. Where many peppermint schnapps are sweet and low-proof, Rumple Minze pairs a clean, sharp peppermint character with 50% ABV, giving it a cooling rush followed by real warmth. That strength is the appeal: served straight from the freezer it drinks like a cold blast of mint with a spirit-forward backbone. It is a staple ice-cold shot, especially around the holidays, and a fixture in cold-weather drinks — stirred into hot chocolate, dropped into coffee, or mixed into peppermint cocktails. The bold black label and eagle emblem make it easy to spot on the back bar. Tasting Notes Nose: Sharp, clean peppermint. Palate: Cooling and crisp — intense peppermint with a full, warming spirit body. Finish: Icy-cool up front, then warming, with lingering mint.
