A liqueur is a sweet alcoholic drink that is made by combining alcohol with fruits, herbs, spices and other ingredients to create a rich, full-bodied flavour and aroma. They can vary in strength and sweetness depending on the recipe and manufacturer, but typically contain between 15% and 30% alcohol by volume. Liqueurs can be clear or richly coloured, depending on the type of ingredients used in their production. Liqueurs can be consumed as aperitifs or digestifs, or used as ingredients in cocktails or desserts. Some of the most well-known liqueurs include Galliano, Baileys, Cointreau and Triple Sec. Liqueurs can also be made at home, allowing drinkers to experiment with different flavours and ingredients.
