Smirnoff Peppermint Twist

An extremely specialized product, this tastes precisely like those peppermint sweets found at a barbershop, but in vodka form. Minimal burn, as one would anticipate from Smirnoff, and it's not excessively sweet. You wouldn't typically consume this straight. It's more suitable as a useful foundation for holiday cocktails. You wouldn't necessarily want this bottle year-round, but it's an excellent option when a strong peppermint flavor is needed that is drinkable and doesn't taste artificial or overly minty.

Exactly what you'd anticipate and desire from a peppermint schnapps. Intense peppermint flavor without being overly sweet. Not so much peppermint that it feels like you've just brushed your teeth, and the alcohol burn doesn't linger too long. Ideal for the holidays.

I really enjoy this one; despite its 30% ABV, it reminds me of a more affordable Rumple Minze.

Intense mint flavor without any harshness

In its own way, it's a bit refreshing.
