Fruit-flavored liquor (8)

I believe the answer is:

schnapps

(Other definitions for schnapps that I've seen before include "Strong spirit drink" , "Dutch spirit distilled from potatoes" , "Strong spirits drunk in northern Europe, strong on consonants" , "Various strong spirits drunk in N Europe, consonant heavy" , "Strong gin-like drink" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
