likööri

Likööri is a type of alcoholic beverage made from distilled spirits infused with flavorings. These flavorings can include fruits, herbs, spices, flowers, nuts, creams, or coffee. Typically, liqueurs have a higher sugar content than other spirits, making them sweeter. The alcohol content of liqueurs varies but commonly ranges from 15% to 55% ABV.

The process of making liqueurs generally involves steeping the flavoring ingredients in a base spirit, such as brandy, whiskey, rum, or neutral grain spirit. After steeping, the solids are removed, and sweeteners like sugar or honey are added. Some liqueurs are also aged to develop their flavor profile.

Liqueurs are enjoyed in various ways. They can be consumed neat, on the rocks, or as a key ingredient in cocktails and mixed drinks. They are also often used in cooking and baking to add depth of flavor to desserts and other dishes. There is a vast array of liqueurs available, with many different flavor profiles and origins. Examples include amaretto, a sweet almond-flavored liqueur, and crème de menthe, a mint-flavored liqueur.
