Liqueur is one of the most diverse and creative categories in the world of alcoholic beverages. Unlike base spirits, which are usually distilled to be enjoyed neat or mixed, liqueurs are spirits enhanced with flavors, botanicals, fruits, herbs, spices, cream, or sweeteners. Typically bottled between 15–30% Alcohol by Volume (ABV) , they fall into the Strength : Low to Medium category, though some fortified or spirit-based liqueurs can exceed 30%. With their smooth textures, vibrant flavors, and wide mixability, liqueurs play a central role in cocktails, desserts, and celebrations.
