National Liqueur Day

Today we celebrate and imbibe liqueur, a distilled alcoholic beverage that is sweetened or blended with herbs, spices, flowers, nuts, cream, or fruits. The alcohol content of liqueur generally ranges from between 24 percent and 60 percent (48-120 U.S. proof) and is usually lower than that of liquor (spirits). Usually, the base spirit used to make liqueur is brandy. Liqueurs are not aged for very long, although their base spirit may be. But, there may be a resting stage to allow the flavors to blend together properly. In the United States, liqueurs are sometimes called cordials or schnapps. Technically, in the United States, the name schnapps only applies to brandies distilled from fermented fruits. Usually syrupy and sweet, liqueurs are used to make after-dinner drinks or are mixed with coffee. They may be drunk straight, poured over ice, or mixed. They are also commonly used to flavor desserts.

By 400 BC, fortified spirits were being made by the distillation of wine by the Egyptians and Greeks, who sweetened them with cinnamon and honey. These spirits were similar to today's liqueur and used ingredients that now are used to make mead. During the thirteenth century, European monks and alchemists improved upon the distillation process and created what we now would recognize as a liqueur. At the time it was mainly used for medical purposes. Today there are both generic liqueurs and proprietary liqueurs—those made by individual producers, often with a secret formula, with registered brand names. The following are some of the most common:

Generic:

Advocaat: cream liqueur.

Amaretto: almond flavor.

Apricot.

Crème d'ananas: flavored with pineapple.

Crème de cacao: flavored with cocoa and vanilla beans.

Crème de framboises: made with raspberries.

Crème de menthe: flavored with mint.

Crème de noyaux: almond-flavored; made with fruit pits; similar to amaretto.

Crème de violette: also known as parfait amour; contains oils from both violets and vanilla beans.

Kümmel: flavored with caraway seed.

Limoncello (Italy): lemon-flavored.

Sloe gin: flavored from the fruit of the blackthorn bush.

Triple sec: orange-flavored; colorless Curaçao.

Proprietary:

Baileys Irish Cream (Ireland): Irish whiskey and cream.

Bénédictine (France): first made in 1510; closely-guarded formula.

Campari (Italy): herbs and fruit.

Chartreuse (France): formula was developed in 1607; contains green and yellow plant liqueurs; spicy and aromatic flavors.

Cherry Heering (Denmark): cherry flavored.

Cointreau (France): proprietary blend of triple sec.

Crème Yvette (United States): violet flavor and color.

Curaçao: flavored from the dried peels of the green oranges from the island of Curaçao, located in the Caribbean Sea.

Danziger Goldwasser: spicy; contains tiny gold specks.

Drambuie (Britain/Scotland): Scotch whisky base; flavored with heather honey and herbs; made with a French formula that was brought to Scotland in 1745.

Forbidden Fruit (United States): brandy and grapefruit.

Grand Marnier (France): orange liqueur with cognac base; created in 1880; one of the most famous liqueurs of all time; Escoffier used it to make Crêpes Suzette; César Ritz was a fan of it and used it at his hotels.

Irish Mist (Ireland): made with Irish whiskey and honey; spicy.

Jägermeister (Germany).

Kahlúa (Mexico): coffee-flavored.

Liquore Galliano (Italy).

Midori (Japan): flavored with melon.

How to Observe National Liqueur Day

Celebrate the day drinking liqueur. Use it to make an after-dinner drink, enjoy it straight, or pour it over ice. There are a countless amount of liqueurs and recipes that go with them that you could try. You could also use liqueurs to make a dessert. You could even use the day to learn how to make your own liqueurs. If you don't drink, you could still make or bake a dessert with liqueur for someone else, or try your hand at making homemade liqueur for a friend to try.

National Liqueur Day

A unique category in the world of alcoholic beverages, liqueur is a distilled spirit. Though the name is similar (and it is sometimes even made from liquor), liqueur is different from liquor in that it is sweeter. Liqueurs are mainly used as a flavoring agent in mixed drinks and they also may be enjoyed as after dinner drinks.

National Liqueur Day offers a time to learn about and celebrate everything related to this delicious category of drinks!

History of National Liqueur Day

Fortified spirits have a history that goes way back to at least 400 BC when the Egyptians would use distilled wine to produce beverages. Sometimes they were mixed with honey, which would produce mead in the same process that is still used today.

As it turns out, the word liqueur comes from the Latin word “liquifacere” which means to liquefy. Other names for liqueurs might include cordials or schnapps.

Today, in order to be categorized as a liqueur, the sugar content must reach a minimum of 2.5%, which is why it is often served as a dessert drink. Some of the most popular and well-known liqueurs of today include Kahlúa, Baileys Irish Cream, Amaretto, Crème de menthe, Angostura Bitters, Limoncello and many others.

National Liqueur Day was founded to celebrate this wide range of delicious distilled drinks that bring flavor and enjoyment to the world!

How to Celebrate National Liqueur Day

National Liqueur Day is a simple and easy day to get involved with–just as long as everyone is of legal drinking age and remembers to drink responsibly! Try out some of these ideas for celebrating the day:

Order a Drink Made with Liqueur

In honor of National Liqueur Day, substitute that usual beer or martini with a drink that is made from liqueur. Try out a White Russian made with Kahlúa and cream, a classic Amaretto sour, or a Cosmopolitan that includes vodka and cranberry juice as well as being made with Cointreau.

Not sure what sounds good in the world liqueurs? That’s okay! Just sidle up to the bar, remind the bartender that it’s National Liqueur Day and ask them what they would recommend!

Try Making Drinks with Liqueur

Those who are feeling a bit more adventurous when it comes to tending bar at home might want to try out some recipes for drinks that include liqueurs. In fact, this would be a great time to host a National Liqueur Day party! Have guests bring some of their favorite liqueur-based drink recipes and try out some unique and interesting ways to enjoy mixed drinks.

Learn Fun Facts About Liqueur

Sharing bits of trivia about the guest of honor on National Liqueur Day is a fun way to celebrate. Learn some of these fun facts and share them with friends, family or coworkers (over an after-work drink!) in honor of the day:One very popular liqueur is Grand Marinier, which was created in 1880. Cesar Ritz was so impressed by it that he immediately began serving it at his famous hotels.

Liqueurs are not aged very long – certainly not as long as wines or liquors. But they do include ‘resting’ stages in the production process that allows the flavors to marry together.

All liqueurs are made as blends.

Happy National Liqueur Day! Liqueurs are historical descendants of herbal medicines. They were made in Italy as early as the 13th century, often prepared by monks (for example, Chartreuse). Today they are produced the world over, commonly served neat, over ice, with coffee, in cocktails, and used in cooking. 1. Grand Marnier Created in 1880, it is one of the most popular liqueurs of all time. Escoffier used it as an ingredient for his culinary masterpiece Crepe Suzette. Cesar Ritz was so impressed with this liqueur that he was among the first to introduce it at his hotels. 2. All liqueurs are blends, even those with a primary flavor. 3. Liqueurs are not usually aged for any great length of time, but may undergo resting stages during their production in order to allow the various flavors to “marry” into a harmonious blend. 4. Most common liqueurs that are absolutely essential when stocking your bar: Amaretto, Coffee Liqueur, Dry and Sweet Vermouth, Irish Cream Liqueur, Maraschino Liqueur and Orange Liqueur. 5. In parts of the US, liqueurs may also be called cordials or schnapps. #NationalLiqueurDay #Liqueur 🥃 🍸 🍹 #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #NonFoodSolutions #FoodConsultant #DisposableSolutions #FoodDude #FoodService #Food #FoodServiceSolutions #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGaPnD6l3aG/?igshid=1arvw1752bfc7
