There's sweet, and then there's sweet. I like Black Haus, the German blackberry schnapps thing. Most of those things like root beer schnapps, peppermint and cinnamon liquors are too sweet for me though.
ive tries the rootbeer, peppermint, apple and watermelon pucker snapps and i agree they are very sweet but are ok over the rocks. id like to try butter shots, they just sound delicious.
Homemade liquor.....no not with the trouble of fermenting and distilling, but black/rasp berries double soaked in vodka (take out berries after first soak, then add more berries to the charged vodka). After that aging, add food grade glycerin and sugar syrup and age some more. Refrigerate and serve.
I'm usually a beer guy. But I've found Woodchuck Dark and Dry on tap is exceptional. And i've often ordered it instead of beer. I never find 'too tart' or 'too sweet' or 'too fruity' as i do other ciders.
Oleg Rumtoff may well be a drunk Russian circus clown. You mean to say Rumtopf (rum pot). Also, you don't drink Rumtopf, because it's a desert with whole fruit and fruit chunks and it's not a drink.
