Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
Root beer schnapps is one of the simplest pleasures on the liqueur shelf, and this one leans fully into the flavor of the classic soda. Expect sweet vanilla and aromatic spice on the nose, then a burst of root beer sweetness on the palate. Cinnamon, anise, caramel and baking spice round it out before a smooth, lingering finish. At 20% ABV (40 proof), it is a gentle, easygoing pour, which makes it a natural fit for anyone building a home bar for fun rather than for study. It shines in dessert-style drinks that riff on the root beer float, adds a warm spiced twist to cocktails, and works as a chilled shot when the mood turns nostalgic. DeKuyper traces its legacy back to 1695, and that heritage shows in how faithfully this captures the familiar root beer profile. We carry it because a good flavored liqueur earns its place by being reliable and fun, and this one delivers exactly what the label promises.
