LIQUEUR
A liqueur is an alcoholic drink composed of spirits and additional flavorings such as sugar, fruits, herbs,
and spices. Most liqueurs range between 15% and 55% alcohol by volume.
Liqueur Category
1. Under general brand
is the liqueur that can made by many distilleries with non specific name and formula.

bizard ets
2. Propietary liqueur
A proprietary liqueur is made by a single producer, has a trademarked name and is created with a
specific formula.
Example ; Grand Marnier, Sambucca, Cointreau etc
Liqueur Production
- Cold Compounding
Liquid flavoring essences are combined with neutral alcohol. This method is quick and rather easy but
tends to produce liqueurs that lack real depth or mouthfeel.
- Re(Distillation)
Just like good-quality gin: add your flavoring agents (herbs, fruits, what-not) to the spirit and re-distill it.
Distillation is normally used for harder ingredients like fruit peels, seeds, and roots, and produces a clear
distillate.
- Maceration/Infusion
This is better for soft fruit that would disintegrate if distilled: the fruit or herbs are left sitting around in
neutral spirit until they absorb the flavor. The mixture may be heated slightly, and different herbs and
fruits may be added at different times depending on how long it takes to extract their flavor. This
produces a coloured distillate called a tincture.
- Percolation
Just like making filter coffee: put your (hard) ingredients into a filter and drip alcohol down through
them. Percolation produces a dark, typically slightly bitter distillate called a tincture. Bols Cacao Brown
liqueur and Cacao White are made from the same ingredients, but Cacao Brown is percolated and Cacao
White is re-distilled, the techniques have a huge effect on the flavor.
Type Of Liqueur
- Fruit Liqueur
Is the liqueur that has a fruit flavor and taste. For making flavorings, distillers may choose to use natural
flavorings (all the flavor is extracted from the fruit itself) or nature-identical flavorings (you extract the
identical flavor compounds from other, cheaper fruits). Fruit liqueurs are also the ones most likely to be
used in cocktails, and many of them have been developed into consumer-oriented brands in their own
right.
- Nut Liqueur
Is the liqueur that has a nutty flavor and taste. These are liqueur usually percolated. Hugely popular with
consumers, this category includes Amaretto, Frangelico.
- Herbal
Is the liqueur that has a herbal flavor and taste. These liqueurs are typically made from many different
botanicals, included aniseed liqueurs (absinthe,sambuca, jagermeister) and bitter liqueurs (Campari and
Aperol).
- Cream
Is the liqueur that has a creamy flavor and taste. This entire category was kick-started by Baileys in 1975.
Into this category can also be shoehorned Advocaat, a Dutch distillate made from an emulsion of egg
yolks and spirit.

just neutral spirits. Baileys (Irish whiskey),Grand Marnier (cognac), Drambuie (Scotch), and Southern
Comfort (American whiskey).
