About National Liqueur Day
A liqueur is a sweet alcoholic beverage that is often served as an after-dinner drink or used as an ingredient in cocktails and desserts. Liqueurs are typically made by infusing or mixing a distilled spirit, such as brandy or vodka, with a variety of flavors, such as fruits, herbs, spices, or cream. They can have a wide range of alcohol content, but most liqueurs fall between 15% and 30% alcohol by volume (ABV).
