History
Sour apple schnapps was popularized in the 1990s and early 2000s, riding the wave of flavored martinis and colorful shots. DeKuyper's Pucker Sour Apple became synonymous with the category. Its neon green color and candy-like flavor made it a hit in nightclubs worldwide.
How it’s made
Produced by combining neutral spirits with green apple flavoring, citric acid for tartness, sugar, and green coloring. The goal is to replicate the taste of sour green apple candy. The high sugar content and vibrant color make it ideal for eye-catching cocktails.
