Considered one of the most tasty and popular alcoholic beverages, liquor is a drink that contains a significant alcoholic strength and which is made based on the presence of different fruits, herbs, spices or other products, with each liquor usually having only one flavor. To make them even more interesting and attractive by palate, liqueurs include a significant amount of sugar that is added in ways artificial and that is added to that which the particular flavor may contain (for example, in the case of some fruits).
The liqueurs are extremely varied in terms of flavor options, as well as in their presentations and in the Mode of production under which they are performed. Due to their particular flavor, liqueurs are made to be taken in small quantities since they are usually drinks that, in addition to having a significant level of alcohol, are heavier and more concentrated in terms of density than others such as whiskey or tequila.
I know esteem that liqueurs have been produced since time immemorial and that in other times there were only flavors taken from herbs and spices. Normally, they were used for medicinal purposes rather than for
consumption, although with time, the improvement of the production, as well as the discovery of new possibilities in terms of flavor contributed to this drink becoming a true delicacy.Unlike what happens with other alcoholic beverages, the liquor can be easily produced in an artisanal way and This is the reason why many times artisanal liqueurs are even more delicious and special than industrial. Regardless of the type of production under which they are made, most liqueurs can reach between a 15 and 55 percent alcoholic graduation, thus becoming some of the most alcoholic beverages powerful.
