A sweet, flavored alcoholic drink that's usually served after meals or mixed in fancy cocktails.
From French 'liqueur,' derived from Latin 'liquor' meaning liquid, the word entered English in the 1600s as European luxury drinks became popular with the wealthy.
Liqueurs are so sugary and flavored that they literally taste nothing like regular alcohol—Chartreuse, made by monks since 1737, uses 130 secret herbs and is still one of the most complex liqueurs in existence.
