A liqueur is an alcoholic beverage obtained by:
maceration or infusion of plants, fruits, flowers, spices
in alcohol
with the addition of sugar
Unlike dry spirits, liqueur is characterized by:
a present sweetness
a pronounced aromatic expression
a wide variety of styles
👉 Liqueur is one of the oldest and most varied alcoholic beverages in the world.
Liqueurs originate from:
the monasteries
herbalism
traditional medicine
They were originally designed as:
elixirs
remedies
digestives
France is historically one of the greatest countries of liqueurs, with a very rich tradition still alive today.
The production of a liqueur generally involves 4 steps:
1️⃣ Selection of plants, fruits or spices
2️⃣ Maceration or infusion in alcohol
3️⃣ Filtration
4️⃣ Sweetening and adjustment
👉 The dosage of sugar , the maceration time and the quality of the raw materials determine the final style.

Liqueur is a central ingredient in mixology :
it brings the aromatic
she structures the cocktail
It balances acidity or bitterness

very sweet
barely legible
standardized
👉 Hence the rise of artisanal liqueurs .
A handcrafted liqueur is distinguished by:
a rigorous selection of raw materials
long macerations
controlled sugar
a more natural aromatic
The liqueurs developed by De Michellot are part of this approach:
French plants
aromatic balance
use as an aperitif, digestif and cocktail
