Production & Heritage

Heaven Hill Distilleries, founded in 1935 in Bardstown, Kentucky, remains one of the largest independent, family-owned spirits producers in the United States. The company's portfolio extends well beyond bourbon into a wide range of liqueurs and flavored spirits, including the Mohawk line. Mohawk Peppermint Schnapps is produced using grain-neutral spirits flavored with peppermint, resulting in a clean, mint-forward liqueur designed for broad versatility behind the bar and in the home.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Cool peppermint rises immediately from the glass, followed by a mild sweetness and a clean, almost mentholated freshness. There is little complexity beyond the dominant mint character, which is direct and inviting.

Taste: The entry is sweet and brisk with candied peppermint flavor that coats the palate evenly. At mid-palate, a mild cooling sensation develops alongside sugary mint notes. The 30% ABV keeps the body light without any significant alcohol burn.

Finish: The finish is short to medium, leaving a lingering minty sweetness and a gentle cooling effect. It fades cleanly without bitterness or harshness.

How to Drink Mohawk Peppermint Schnapps

Served chilled as a straight shot, Mohawk Peppermint Schnapps is refreshing and easy-drinking — the twin 375ml format makes it practical for keeping a bottle in the freezer. It also works well as a cocktail modifier in several classic and popular drinks:

• Peppermint Patty: Combined with hot chocolate and cream, the schnapps amplifies the chocolate-mint pairing into a satisfying warm cocktail.
• Candy Cane Martini: Shaken with vodka and a splash of grenadine, it creates a festive, visually appealing holiday drink.
• Stinger (variation): Substituted for crème de menthe alongside brandy, it delivers a lighter, more approachable take on the classic after-dinner cocktail.
