I used Peachtree, it completely overpowered the other flavours.. Get the feeling this one is better off with a cleaner peach liqueur instead of a schnapps.

I agree with John and leave out the syrup. I did it with, and it was a bit on the sweet side. The Schnapps should provide enough sweetness.

Great rift on a mint julep. While I like my drinks not too sweet, I left out the sugar syrup. I would probably use Peach Brandy also to cut the sweetness.
