A selection of amaro liqueurs from Italy

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.

Crème de cacao

Crème de cacao may be either clear or a dark caramel color, which is often labeled dark crème de cacao. 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). 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. Vanilla is commonly added to enhance aroma and sweetness.

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

Coffee liqueurs
