Review: Dr. McGillicuddy’s “Intense” Schnapps
I am starting to question this “Doctor’s” medical credentials. Apple Pie Schnapps? Hmmm, color me suspicious.
Designed as “party shots,” Dr. McGillicuddy’s offers a range of traditionally flavored Schnapps… plus these four new modern additions. We braved our way into the quartet (in this order) with as open a mind as possible.
All are 42 proof.
Dr. McGillicuddy’s Apple Pie Intense Schnapps – Color me impressed. It really smells and tastes of fresh apple pie. Light and sweet, plenty of apple and cinnamon notes, and no burn at all. “Intense” it isn’t; rather it’s quite mild. I’ve actually tried apple pie flavored liqueurs before, and this one is easily the best one I’ve had to date. A-
Dr. McGillicuddy’s Wild Grape Intense Schnapps – Looks just like grape Kool-Aid. But on the tongue, it’s incredibly muddy. This is wild, but hardly grape. Flavors of burnt sugar and chemicals dominate. D
Dr. McGillicuddy’s Root Beer Intense Schnapps – Authentic root beer nose. The body, very sweet, like a can of A&W, and almost refreshing. The finish is a bit on the cloying side, but otherwise root beer nuts will find this a winner. B
Dr. McGillicuddy’s Ice Mint Intense Schnapps – Smells awfully minty, with promise. Sadly, tastes like toothpaste. C-

What on earth could you mix Apple Pie Schnapps with to make a cool drink? Any ideas? It sounds yummy:)
Ginger beer would be my first attempt.
i think the grape taste just like grape cough medicine nasty!

You’re welcome.
Apple pie and root beer soda is actually delicious
Apple pie and vanilla is wonderful. We cut up 5lbs of apples and narinated them in a bottle each of the Drs apple pie & vanilla. Served in pilsner style glasses with a cinnamon stick. Hugsy hit.
Try some good brand of vanilla ice cream in substitution to ice.
