Tap, twist, drink
Kleiner Klopfer is a German brand of mini liqueurs. They come in 2 cl bottles and boxes of 25, with an assortment of flavors. The brand belongs to Marussia Beverages Germany, has been around since 1997, and now has 27 flavors. The name means “little tapper,” which tells you how it works. First, tap the bottle on the table or bar, twist off the cap, and drink it in one go.
With 15 to 17% alcohol, these shots are mild and sweet. Ideal for passing around at a party. Each box contains five flavors, from strawberry and cherry to sour apple and energy. In the Netherlands, most people know the Fun Mix and Crazy Mix. If you prefer sour or energy flavors, go for the Sour Mix or Top Speed.
