Chef’s Secret

When baking with peach brandy, flame it gently to burn off some alcohol and concentrate the fruit flavor for a deeper taste profile.

Substitutions

Best Match

Peach Schnapps

1:1

Sweet and peachy, lower alcohol content, good for cocktails or adding peach flavor without strong brandy notes.

Cognac/Brandy (plain)

1:1

Provides the brandy base and warmth, but lacks the specific peach flavor. Add peach extract if desired.

Peach Liqueur

1:1

Similar to schnapps, typically sweeter and lower ABV than brandy, suitable for cocktails or dessert drizzle.

Peach Nectar + Brandy Flavoring

1:1

Non-alcoholic option, providing peach flavor and a hint of brandy character for baking or mocktails.

Buying Guide

Look for 'eau de vie' or 'fruit brandy' for purer peach flavor. Check ABV. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain quality.
