Dutch or German spirit (8)

I believe the answer is:

schnapps

'dutch or german spirit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for schnapps that I've seen before include "Strong clear spirit drunk in Germany" , "Holland gin" , "German alcoholic spirit" , "A strong fruit brandy" , "Dutch or German spirit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
