The Perfect Girls’ Night Drink: Still Spirits Strawberry Schnapps

April 14, 2025

Say Hello to Your New Favourite Cocktail Addition with This Sweet Strawberry Secret

You know that moment during a girls' night when everything just… works? The chatter is easy, the snacks are flowing, and something cheeky and cheerful is sitting in your glass. That’s the vibe we’re bottling today – and it starts with Still Spirits Strawberry Schnapps. 🍓

This little bottle might not look like much at first, but once you mix it with a neutral spirit – like a clean vodka – you’re suddenly sipping on something that tastes like a warm summer afternoon crushed into cocktail form. It’s sweet, light, fresh, and fruit-forward – basically, strawberry schnapps in its Sunday best.

A Flavour That Deserves to Be the Life of the Party

If you’ve ever tried hunting down quality schnapps at a bottle shop, you probably came away feeling let down. Either you're wincing after the first sip or it leaves you wondering if it was supposed to taste like melted lollies. Here's where homebrew really steps in to save the day. Pairing this essence with your own spirit means *you* control the flavour, the strength, and how sweet you want it. No vague surprises. Just the strawberry schnapps you meant to pour in that bubbly cocktail.

Easy to Make, Hard to Share (But You’ll Have To)

I made a batch of this recently with some neutral base spirit and invited a few mates over. What started as "let’s give this a try" quickly turned into “Why is mine already empty?” Apparently, it goes down easier than anyone expects. I served it neat with a twist of lemon after dinner and later with tonic and fresh mint. It played nice in every drink. You can even try splashing a bit over vanilla ice cream – trust me on this one.

If you’re into the craft of flavouring your own spirits, or even just looking for a more affordable way to get something a bit fancy at your next BBQ or girls’ night in, this packs a lot of joy into a tiny bottle. No complicated equipment. No confusing ratios. It’s one of those products where simplicity doesn’t mean compromise.

Made for Makers, Loved by Guests

The satisfaction of handing someone a drink and saying, “Yeah, I actually made that,” is not something you can buy. That wink of pride, the surprised faces across the table… it’s part of why we all got into homebrewing in the first place, isn’t it? Even if it's something as fuss-free as mixing up your own schnapps flavour, there’s a quiet buzz that comes from doing it yourself. Especially when the result tastes this good.

Why It's Earned a Spot on My Drinks Shelf

Fast prep: Mix it with vodka or neutral spirits, chill, and serve. That’s it.
Your flavour, your rules: From strawberry spritzers to post-dinner dessert shots, it's easy to customise the sweetness and kick.
Impressive without being pricey: It's an affordable way to serve something with serious taste points.
Versatile: Ideal for cosy nights in, birthday toasts, or unexpected drop-ins from family – it's a people pleaser.

A Quick Tip for Getting the Best Out of It

If you want that silky finish and clear flavour, use good quality vodka or properly filtered neutral spirit. The better your base, the more that natural strawberry flavour will shine through. You don’t need a fancy still – just match it with premium gear and ingredients you can count on.

Where to Find It

Whatever direction you take it – casual picnic punch or something a bit fancier for Friday night – this schnapps hits that sweet spot of easy drinking and big flavour. And once you taste it, you might start wondering what you can flavour next...

Happy brewing, and cheers to all the perfectly missed high-fives and loud laughter around the drinks table 🍓
