Liqueurs

Flavoured with fruit, herbs, nuts and flowers, liqueurs are historical descendants of herbal medicines and are typically quite sweet. Liqueurs are not aged for long, but after the ingredients are mixed, they may have resting periods during their production to allow the flavours to marry. All liqueurs have a minimum 15% ABV and 100 grams of sugar per litre.

Liqueurs

In general, liqueurs must contain at least 100g of sugar per litre. For cherry liqueurs, however, the minimum is 70g / litre, and for gentian liqueurs, it is 80 g / litre. Some other categories of liqueur have a higher minimum sugar content. They are bottled at a minimum of 15% alcohol by volume and be created using neutral grain alcohol and/or distillate(s) of agricultural origin.
