Great post! Schnapps seems to occupy a weird intersection of mixer rather than shooter and too commercial/sugared to warrant a hipster revival to rival bitters (good luck with that $60 6oz bottle of small batch craft bitters that tastes like weed-eater line thanks to the hand-harvested, pesticide free, nonGMO dandelion greens). I had a friend from Atlantic City (yes, really) who loved Dr McGillicuddy's Peppermint Schnapps. No other brand would do. Peculiar.
Thank you for using Willennium as an indicator of time period. Also I watch a lot of Below Deck and exclaim once per episode, “Another espresso martini???” I have never had one, who’s got the best in town?
The best sign I ever saw anyone hold at an SKC was years ago at an RSL game - "Nick Rimando Drinks Appletinis." Nick happened to spot it and cracked up.

"A more committed craftsperson would have tried to clarify the apple juice, but I am a committed crapsperson." Well-played.

Love this article big fan of the appltini and I've made my own and yes kits of cinimon and ginger in it certainly wasn't a neon green monster! 🤟😉
I don't think it's possible to make a sour apple liqueur using natural ingredients, they don't taste the same (at least not to me). I think you're probably best off just infusing vodka with jolly ranchers: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/238736/jolly-rancher-infused-vodka/
