Liqueurs are flavoured alcoholic beverages that are high in sugar.
Herbal liqueurs have a strong herbal flavour, are high in alcohol and taste like medicine. Spice liqueurs are sweetish, moderately high in alcohol and usually taste of a single spice used as the main flavouring. Arrack punch is a liqueur flavoured with arrack that has a strong taste and resembles rum. You can discern notes of mint, tar, anise, nuts, coffee, vanilla, medicinal herbs, arrack and salty liquorice in these liqueurs.
In Spain the liqueur is only called "Cuarenta y Tres", which stands for the 43 ingredients found in this liqueur. The exact recipe is still secret today. Most of the ingredients of the liqueur consist of spices, but vanilla can also be found among them. The latter also clearly comes to the fore during tasting. The breakthrough came in the 1990s. Since then the Licor 43 has enjoyed increasing popularity. It is remarkable that all 43 ingredients were used as early as 209 BC. Tradition is capitalized with the liqueur 43.
