A liqueur is an alcoholic beverage made from a distilled spirit that has been flavored with fruit, cream, herbs, spices, flowers or nuts and bottled with added sugar or other sweetener.

So What is the Difference Between Liquor & Liqueur ???

• A liquor is an alcoholic drink that is distilled from grains or plants, such as rum, vodka, gin or whiskey.

• A liqueur is a sweet or herbal alcoholic drink that is made from fruit, herbs, flowers, nuts or spices plus (usually) sugar and a spirit such as grain alcohol, vodka or rum.

• Many liqueurs are made in France, such as Cassis (made with black currants), Chartreuse (made from plants and flowers) or Pastis (flavored with anise seeds).

History of Liqueur . . . .• Liqueurs were first created by Christian monks in

the Middle Ages as herbal remedies for illness.• The monks brewed combinations of honey, herbs,

spices and roots with alcohol to make these special elixirs.

• Recipes for liqueurs have been found in Egyptian tombs and ancient Greek scrolls, but it is primarily the monks of Europe, particularly Italian monks during the 13th Century, who developed the liqueur as a way to infuse herbs for medicinal use.

• One of the most famous liqueurs to be developed by European monks is Green Chartreuse.
