A liqueur is a sweet, flavored alcoholic beverage that is typically made by infusing spirits with fruits, herbs, spices, or other flavorings. These drinks often have a lower alcohol content than standard spirits, usually ranging from 15% to 30% alcohol by volume. Liqueurs can be enjoyed on their own, used in cocktails, or served as a digestif after meals. Common types of liqueurs include Amaretto, Baileys Irish Cream, and Grand Marnier. They are often characterized by their vibrant colors and unique flavors, making them popular choices for both casual and festive occasions. Liqueurs can also be used in cooking and baking to enhance the flavor of various dishes and desserts.
