Herbal liqueur is a sweetened spirit infused with a blend of herbs, roots, spices, and other botanicals, typically ranging from 20% to 55% ABV. Producers extract flavor by maceration and/or distillation, then sweeten and often rest or age to integrate flavors, resulting in profiles that span fresh and minty to resinous, spicy, or bittersweet.

It’s enjoyed neat or over ice as a digestif and is a versatile cocktail component, adding layered botanical notes to sours, highballs, and stirred drinks. In the kitchen it lends complexity to desserts, fruit preparations, and pan sauces; because intensity and sweetness vary by brand, start with small amounts and adjust sugar and acid to taste.
