"Liquor" and "liqueur" are two terms often used in the realm of alcoholic beverages, but they refer to different things:
Liquor: This term generally refers to distilled alcoholic beverages with a high alcohol content. Examples of liquors include whiskey, vodka, rum, tequila, gin, and brandy. Liquors are typically produced through distillation processes, where fermented grains, fruits, or other ingredients are distilled to extract alcohol. They are often consumed straight or used as a base in cocktails.
Liqueur: Liqueurs are also alcoholic beverages, but they are distinct from liquors. Liqueurs are sweetened spirits that are flavored with various ingredients such as fruits, herbs, spices, flowers, nuts, cream, or even chocolate. Unlike liquors, which are primarily distilled, liqueurs often involve infusing or steeping flavors into a base spirit, which may or may not be distilled. Liqueurs tend to have a lower alcohol content compared to liquors, typically ranging from 15% to 30% ABV (alcohol by volume). Examples of liqueurs include Grand Marnier, Kahlúa, Amaretto, and Frangelico.
In summary, while both liquor and liqueur are alcoholic beverages, liquor refers to distilled spirits with a high alcohol content, while liqueur refers to sweetened, flavored spirits with lower alcohol content, often used for sipping neat, mixing into cocktails, or as dessert drinks.
