A Witch’s Brew Cocktail: Our way of Celebrating National Liqueur Day

It’s National Liqueur Day!

What are Liqueurs?

Liqueurs, also known as cordials or schnapps, are strong alcoholic beverages distilled and sweetened and with herbs, fruits, nuts, cream, or spices.

So what’s the difference between a liqueur and a liquor?

There is often confusion about liqueurs and liquors. The easiest way to decide if what you are drinking is a liqueur vs. a liquor is that liqueurs are typically a sweeter, syrupy consistency than a liquor. Most of the liqueurs have a lower alcohol content than spirits.

What kind of liqueurs are there?

There are countless types and flavors of liqueur. Some of the most popular include Amaretto, Kahlua, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Limoncello, Chambord, and Jagermeister. Try one of the more unusual flavors to Celebrate National Liqueur Day! Or Try this amazing recipe using raspberry liqueur.

Now let’s get to why you are really here: I decided to make this spooky drink since I have been bingeing horror movies, as well as some family-friendly Halloween movies lately. I think my kids watch Hocus Pocus 3-5 times a week these days. So, it's only fitting that we make something witchy to drink. Please enjoy this Witch’s Brew cocktail recipe. It is easy to make with only a few ingredients and absolutely delicious.
