'drink' is the definition.
(schnapps is a kind of drink)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for schnapps that I've seen before include "Strong gin-like drink" , "Holland gin" , "Dutch clear alcohol" , "A strong fruit brandy" , "Dutch or German spirit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
