Hot Chocolate and Peppermint Schnapps

Schnapps is a strong, colorless alcoholic beverage made from potatoes or grains. Peppermint is the most common flavoring in schnapps, which comes from the German word Schnaps, which means “mouthful.” If you like chocolate-covered mints, this is the drink for you.
