Liqueurs are alcoholic drinks made by adding flavors such as fruit, spices, herbs, nuts, or cream to a sweetened spirit base. The taste is usually sweeter, aromatic and smooth, making it easy to enjoy both straight and as a cocktail mixture.
A wide variety of liqueurs are used in mixology, from citrus liqueurs, berry liqueurs, coffee liqueurs, herbal liqueurs, to cream liqueurs. With their wide variety of flavors and aromas, liqueurs are essential elements in creating both classic cocktails and modern creations.
