Italian liqueurs are sweet, flavored spirits that originate from Italy, often enjoyed as after-dinner drinks. They are made by infusing various ingredients, such as fruits, herbs, and spices, into a base spirit, typically grappa or neutral alcohol. Popular examples include Limoncello, a lemon-flavored liqueur from the Amalfi Coast, and Averna, a herbal liqueur from Sicily. These liqueurs are often served chilled or over ice and can be used in cocktails or as a digestif. Each region in Italy has its own unique liqueurs, reflecting local ingredients and traditions, making them an integral part of Italian culture and cuisine.
