Liqueurs are alcoholic beverages that are bottled with added sugar and have added flavours that are usually derived from fruits, herbs, or nuts. Liqueurs are distinct from eaux-de-vie, fruit brandy, and flavored liquors, which contain no added sugar. Most liqueurs range between 15% and 55% alcohol by volume. [1]

Crème de cacao

Crème de cacao may be either clear or a dark caramel color, which is often labeled dark crème de cacao. [4] The French word crème identifies it as a crème liqueur, a liqueur with a high sugar content as stipulated by various regulations (for example, European law requires a sugar content of 250 g/L). [5] There is no dairy cream in it.

White crème de cacao is a clear, sweet liqueur that has a clearer and a more delicate chocolate flavor than the darker variant. The difference lies majorly on the production methods and coloring: white crème de cacao is flavored with distillate cacao beans while the dark version is gotten by retaining the natural coloring of the cacao beans. [4] Vanilla is commonly added to enhance aroma and sweetness. [4]

The alcohol content of crème de cacao varies, but 20–25% ABV (40–50 proof (U.S.)) is common. [5]

Coffee liqueurs

A coffee liqueur is a caffeinated alcoholic drink with a coffee flavour.
