Liqueurs - Rainbow Of Happiness


















A liqueur is an alcoholic drink made from distilled liquor that has flavoring added using herbs, spices, nuts, fruit, flowers or cream. Liqueurs tend to be very sweet and syrupy; this is because they are bottled with added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. Liqueurs come in every color of the rainbow. There is no aging process to speak of with liqueurs, they are sold right after bottling in most cases. Some verities are stored for a short period of time but this is to help the flavors blend. Most liqueurs (15%ABV to 30% ABV) have lower alcohol content than spirits, but there are ones with as much as 55% ABV.


Liqueurs are directly linked to herbal medicines made in the 13th century Italy; these medicines were made by monks. In present day, liqueurs are made everywhere and are served in many different ways: by themselves, over ice, with cream, with coffee, other mixers to make cocktails, cooking, etc. They are usually served with or after a dessert when by themselves. The following is my Liqueurs from my Mini Bottle collection, I hope you have time to enjoy some of the many liqueurs available and you’re sure to find one you really like. Cheers.
