Liqueurs<br />

“Liqueur is like the sweetest dew from Heaven.”<br />

– Lu Yu<br />

Liqueur is an alcoholic drink composed of distilled spirits and<br />

additional flavorings such as sugar, fruits, herbs, and spices.<br />

Often served with or after dessert, liqueurs are typically heavily<br />

sweetened, usually unaged, except for a resting period during<br />

production, but sometimes aged, so flavours inside can mingle.<br />

Liqueurs are historical descendants of herbal medicines. They<br />

were made in Italy as early as the 13th century, often prepared<br />

by monks. Today they are produced all over the world, commonly<br />

served straight, over ice with coffee, in cocktails, and used in<br />

cooking.<br />

In some areas of the United States and Canada, liqueurs are also<br />

referred to as cordials or schnapps, though the terms refer to<br />

different beverages elsewhere.<br />

The most classical liqueur is called Cointreau, which is<br />

an orange-flavoured triple sec liqueur, produced in Saint-<br />

Barthélemy-d’Anjou, France, since 1849. It is consumed as an<br />

apéritif and digestif, and is a component of several well-known<br />

cocktails, such as Margaritas and Cosmopolitans. Despite the<br />

orange bottle, Cointreau is colourless.
