How to Make Peppermint Schnapps Liqueur

  1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup light corn syrup in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is clear.
  3. Remove from heat and carefully whisk in 1 1/2 cups vodka. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and stir gently.
  5. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature. This is important for the best flavor.
  6. Once cool, strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve (optional, to remove any undissolved sugar crystals) into a clean, sealable bottle. Store in a cool, dark place.
