Schnapps (/?n??ps/ or /?n?ps/) is a term for a family of alcoholic beverages that may take several forms, including distilled fruit brandies, herbal liqueurs, infusions, and inexpensive "flavored liqueurs" made by adding fruit syrups, spices, or artificial flavorings to neutral grain spirits.
The English word "schnapps" is derived from the German Schnaps [?naps] ( listen) (plural: Schnäpse), a Low German noun meaning "swallow" documented in High German meaning since before the 18th century.
Cider (/?sa?d?r/ SY-d?r), known as hard cider in North America, is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples.
The juice of any variety of apple can be used to make cider, but cider apples are best. The addition of sugar or extra fruit before a second fermentation increases the alcoholic content of the resulting beverage.
Cider is popular in the United Kingdom, especially in the West Country, and widely available. The UK has the world's highest per capita consumption, as well as its largest cider-producing companies. Cider is also popular in other European countries including Ireland, Portugal (mainly in Minho and Madeira), France (in particular Brittany and Normandy), northern Italy (Piedmont and Friuli) and Spain (especially Asturias and the Basque Country). Central Europe also has its own types of cider with Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse producing a particularly tart version known as Apfelwein.
