Liqueurs, also known as cordials, refer to flavored and diluted forms of liquors with a sweet taste and an alcohol content ranging from 15 to 30 percent by volume. They are prepared by mixing a base spirit, such as vodka, rum, or brandy, with fruits or herbs, which is then sweetened by adding sugar or syrup. They can be aged or bottled instantly and flavored using additional ingredients, including herbs, fruits, and oils. They are commonly available in different types, such as fruit, plant, and generic or flavored liqueurs. They can be either served straight, poured over ice, or mixed in numerous combinations comprising liquors, brandies, and cream. Liqueurs are often consumed neat or on rocks as an after-dinner drink and also used as flavorings in various dessert dishes due to their sweet taste. Besides this, they serve as the modifier or perfume of a cocktail and are added to coffee. As a result, liqueurs have gained immense popularity as recreational beverages owing to their alcohol content.
