The name derives from the Latin word to melt. Liqueur can be produced by either macerating the flavoring elements in alcohol, which is then distilled or by percolation, which passes heated alcohol through the flavorings. In both processes, the flavored spirit is sweetened with sugar, syrup, or honey; coloring, if desired, can be added. The mixture is filtered, aged if preferred, and bottled. The processes and ingredients are often strictly guarded secrets. No more than three people at one time are said to know the formula for making Benedictine. The alcoholic content of liqueurs usually ranges from about 34 to 60 proof, but can reach 100 proof.

Liqueur(from Latin liquor, “liquid”), a strong alcoholic beverage containing up to 35 percent sugar and 45 percent alcohol by volume. The first liqueurs in Western Europe were made in Holland (kümmel). In olden times the art of liqueur-making was practiced in many countries by monks and druggists, who used medicinal herbs, roots, flowers, and fruits in their closely guarded secret recipes. The art was developed particularly in France, where the liqueurs have long been famous. Two exemplary old French liqueurs are Benedictine, named for the monastic order, and Chartreuse, named for the Grande Chartreuse Monastery. There are strong, dessert, and crème liqueurs. Grapes (late vintage) with a sugar content of no less than 24–26 percent are used for liqueurs; concentrated must is added to grapes with lower sugar content. Liqueurs are also made from fortified fruit and berry juices; infusions of aromatic herbs, roots, seeds, leaves, flowers, citrus fruit peels, beans (coffee, cocoa), and spices (vanilla, cinnamon, cloves); solutions of essential oils, aromatic spirits, sugar (and sometimes molasses) syrup, rectified spirits, citric acid, and softened water. liqueur[li′kər]liqueurwww.liqueurweb.com www.thatsthespirit.com/mixology/liqueurs.asp www.webtender.com liqueurli·queur(li-kĕr'),li·queur(li-kur)liqueur
