I think the L might be wrong in the second one. Could it be an N?

Yes, it certainly may explain why I've been struggling.

Yes, the answer was SCHNAPPS - a bit easier with the correct letter!

I must pronounce it incorrectly though - it's not a homophone for SNAPS the way I say it!

Not a word I pronounce too frequently.

Any idea on the other?

I keep thinking STRIFE DOWN but it doesn't make any sense.

Produce fire = strike
Upland = down
strike down = fell
