Liqueur

In European countries, liqueur have long been savoured as the after dinner drink, bringing a delightful end to a leisurely repast. Today, although they're stiff sipped and savoured on their own, liquers are often used in a variety of frozen and ice cream based drinks.

Most people use the terms Cordial and Liqueur interchangeably. Although both refer to the process combining or redistilling spirit with one or more aromatic flavourings and are usually highly sweetened, there are subtle differences. Liquers are flavoured with flowers, herbs, seeds, roots, plants barks or any other number of spicies, while Cordials are generally prepared with fruit pulps or juices.

Regadless of what you call them, however, liqueur date back centuries and were originally formulated as medicinal elixirs to "cure" a variety of illnesses. Made in every country of the world, nearly all liqueurs are quite sweet, with dessert - like flavour. `onion
