Liqueur

Liqueur, born in our lovely country (Italy) in the Middle Ages (for curative aims) generally conceived as an alcoholic compound based on vegetable components and obtained from distillation, extraction or dilution; it can be an emulsion or a suspension, especially if it contains milk, eggs or some not soluble derived products.
