What does the “Saurer Appelkorn” meme mean?

Where does the “Saurer Appelkorn” meme come from?
Apfelkorn is a German alcoholic drink, a blend of grain spirit (Korn) and apple juice, also used as a general name for various grain-based spirits flavoured with apple. Very common at student parties and popular festivities in Germany, it is often drunk as a shot in one go, which regularly causes a grimace in people who swallow it too quickly because of its combined sweet and alcoholic taste. The card reuses this well-known image of the post-shot grimace, paired with the drink's name twisted into "saurer" ("sour"), to picture a trivial but universally recognisable party moment.
