Continental strong alcoholic spirit flavoured with fruit, herbs etc. (8)

I believe the answer is:

schnapps

(Other definitions for schnapps that I've seen before include "Strong (Dutch?) liquor" , "Various strong spirits drunk in N Europe, consonant heavy" , "Strong drinks, Dutch gin made from potatoes say" , "Strong spirits drunk in northern Europe, strong on consonants" , "Holland gin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
