Schnapps is the German word for "shot". Traditionalists will tell you that
true "schnapps" is synonomous with "eau de vie" or any clear liquor distilled
from fruit. Over the years, however, schnapps has become synonomous with
liqueur. I recommend finding a Peach flavored liqueur over there if you can,
you won't taste any difference.
