What kind of alcohol is Rumple Minze?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

Rumple Minze is an interesting German-style liqueur brand that I’ve had the pleasure of trying. It’s most well-known for its peppermint schnapps, which is a type of flavored liqueur. Peppermint schnapps is made by infusing alcohol with peppermint leaves, giving it a distinct and refreshing minty flavor.

The brand is actually owned by Diageo, a multinational alcoholic beverage company based in London. Diageo is known for its wide range of popular brands, and Rumple Minze is just one of the many labels they own.

What sets Rumple Minze apart from other peppermint schnapps is its intense and bold taste. It’s often described as having a strong, icy mint flavor that can be quite invigorating. The high alcohol content of around 50% ABV (alcohol by volume) adds to its potency.

I remember the first time I tried Rumple Minze, it was at a holiday party. The peppermint flavor was so intense and refreshing that it instantly became a hit among the guests. The cool, minty sensation lingered on the palate, making it a perfect digestif or a delightful addition to cocktails.

One thing to note about Rumple Minze is that it’s not your typical liqueur meant for sipping on its own. Due to its high alcohol content and intense flavor, it’s often used as an ingredient in cocktails or mixed with other drinks. Its bold taste can add a unique twist to classic cocktails like the Peppermint Martini or the Candy Cane Cosmo.

In addition to its use in cocktails, Rumple Minze can also be enjoyed as a shot. Its strong mint flavor pairs well with chocolate-based shots, creating a delicious and refreshing combination. It’s a popular choice for those who enjoy the thrill of a strong, icy shot.

Rumple Minze is a German-style liqueur brand that specializes in peppermint schnapps. It’s owned by Diageo and offers a bold and intense mint flavor. Whether enjoyed in cocktails or as a shot, Rumple Minze adds a refreshing twist to any drink.
