Before we ruin this beautiful friendship (after all, what’s a little pronunciation difference between boozin’ buddies?),\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e there really is a difference\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e between Liquor and Liqueur.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAnd it’s much more than just a few vowels. Because if you’ve ever been seduced by a sweet-talking White Russian or Kir Royale, you know that Liqueurs are in a \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclass of their own\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nStill not sure? Well, there’s no sugar-coating it — you’re just gonna have to \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003elet this box do all the talking\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e. The good news? You’re doing all the tasting. Sounds like a sweet deal to us.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSo… Liquor. You’re familiar. No intro needed…\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOkay, maybe a teeny, tiny one. Because according to our pal \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMerriam-Webster\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, it’s a liquid substance that’s usually been distilled to produce alcohol. Now, that leaves a lot of room for different expressions, but the usual suspects in this category are Vodka, Rum, Gin and Whiskey.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nLiqueur, on the other hand, is a \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003etype of Liquor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. The \"distilled\" part still holds true — Liqueurs are indeed based on some sort of distilled Spirit. But that Spirit is flavored with a variation of herbs and spices, cream, fruit, flowers or nuts from all over the world. And they typically have a \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eslightly sweet edge\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e. Think: Chartreuse, Schnapps, Amaretto and Sambuca.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThey’re rarely aged, and commonly\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e serve as mixers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e — but a few are best savored straight up and on their own. We have three Liqueurs that’re up to that task. All the way from Tel Aviv, there’s the botanical-inspired \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMilk \u0026amp; Honey Roots Herbal Liqueur\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e; from our Aussie buds down under, we have the eye-opening \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMr. Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e; and last, but most definitely not least, from Switzerland — \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSäntis Malt Apricot Malt Liqueur.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAnd hey, when life gets you bitter, change your perspective back with a sip of something sweet (and spiked). \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheers!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cu\u003eSmartass Corner: \u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n1) Liqueurs, also called \"cordials,\" are usually \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003elower in proof than traditional Liquor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e — typically 80 proof or less. Although you’ll find some Liqueurs that give Liquor a run for its ABV money.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n2) \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMilk \u0026amp; Honey Roots Herbal Liqueur \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ewas crafted in honor of Israel’s 70th anniversary. The distiller asked seven revolutionary, creative and daring entrepreneurs to choose a unique herb, root or spice that represents\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e the essence of Israel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e for them. Their choices: almonds, savory, coriander, jasmine, tarragon, thyme and cardamom. All of which were used in the final production and infused with honey.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n3) Coffee and Tequila? It’s a better combo than you think. Combine the smooth Arabica bean flavor of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMr. Black’s Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e with some tequila, grapefruit and club soda for a refreshing Paloma Negra.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n4) \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSäntis Malt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e relies on natural apricots, along with beer barrel aged Säntis Malt Whisky, to craft their smooth and elegant apricot Liqueur.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n5) Not that you need an excuse to break out a bottle, but… October 16 is \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNational Liqueur Day\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n6) Plenty of Liqueurs can be used for \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecooking or baking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e — some even steal the culinary show.
