A liqueur can be defined as a beverage created by combining a spirit and a flavoring ingredient. Following are just a few that are commonly used in food preparation.

-GRAND MARNIER: This classic is a mixture of brandy and orange. It is used in souffles, crepes, mousses, and desserts. Duck also pairs well with the rich orange flavor.

-AMARETTO: Italy was the birthplace of this almond liqueur. A famous macaroon-type cookie is made using amaretto. It is also used to flavor a popular cheesecake.

-KAHLUA: This coffee-flavored drink from Mexico is also used extensively in baking. Many Tiramisu recipes employ it. Used in White Russians from the bar.

-CREME de CASSIS: Made with black currants, this sweet liqueur blends well in chocolate recipes. It also is used often with fruit.

-FRANGELICO: Another Italian beverage, frangelico gets its flavor from hazelnuts. It can be found in cheesecake and mousse recipes.
