Writing Notes: Liqueurs
Liqueurs
Also known as cordials.
Distilled spirits that feature flavorings such as fruits, herbs, and spices.
Heavy, sweet, and complexly flavored drinks.
These sweet alcoholic beverages are used to make cocktails, or can be served alone as aperitifs or digestifs.
Making Liqueurs
Involves adding fruits, sugar, cream, spices, herbs, nuts, and flavorings to a liquor base at a distillery.
The sweetness of liqueurs is their most common feature.
Although, they can range widely in sugar content.
Popular types of liqueurs: orange liqueurs, herbal liqueurs, and coffee liqueurs.
Liqueur vs. Liquor
Both are drinks with high alcohol content and similar-sounding names.
However, there are essential differences between these two categories:
Fermentation: Liquor—also known as hard alcohol, spirits, or distilled spirits—is a category of alcoholic beverages that ferment and undergo distillation. In the distillation process, heat and condensation increase the alcohol content, and a significant portion of the water boils off, concentrating the alcohol and particular compounds. Liquors usually starting with a grain base (distillers occasionally use fruits). The six main categories are whiskey, brandy, rum, vodka, gin, and tequila.
Flavorings: Most liqueurs begin with liquor as a base; then, distillers add herbs, spices, and other flavorings. Bartenders can serve liqueurs as-is or add them in small amounts to a liquor base to form mixed drinks.
Sugar: The main difference between liquor and liqueur is sweetness. Liqueurs are intensely flavored with the most predominant note usually being sweetness. Flavoring herbs and oils and added sugar provide flavor and texture.
Alcohol content: Both liqueurs and liquors have a range of alcohol content. Most liquor is in the 40 to 55 percent range of Alcohol by Volume (ABV), or 80 to 110 proof. Liqueurs typically contain more ingredients, so the alcohol content is generally lower, from 15 to 30 percent ABV or 30 to 60 proof.
15 Popular Types of Liqueurs
There is a wide range of liqueurs, from cream-based cordials to proprietary recipes.
Amaretto: An Italian liqueur made from apricot kernels, which give the liquor a distinctly bitter almond flavor. Its name comes from amaro, the Italian word for “bitter.” Sweeter notes of brown sugar temper the bitterness of the apricot pits. It contains 21 to 28% ABV and can be sipped alone or added to cocktails.
Amaro: A broad category of regional Italian bitters. Made from either a neutral spirit or brandy, this bitter liqueur is a staple in the Italian lifestyle. A curated blend of botanical ingredients—typically an inherited recipe that includes herbs, spices, and flowers, as well as barks and roots like gentian root, cinchona, and wormwood—gives each variety of amaro its unique flavor. Campari, Cynar, Fernet Branca, and Aperol are popular amaro liqueur brands.
Anise liqueurs: Anice, the primary flavoring agent in black licorice, is a popular ingredient in alcoholic drinks in many countries and cultures: Ouzo in Greece, Sambuca and Galliano in Italy, Pernod Absinthe in France, and Raki in Turkey, among others.
Chambord: A popular brand of raspberry-flavored liqueur. The ingredients are red and black raspberries, honey, vanilla, and cognac. Chambord is great for making Raspberry Mojitos and Raspberry Margaritas.
Cream liqueurs: Thick, sweet liqueurs made with the addition of milk or a milk substitute, along with sweetener, to provide a creamy sweetness to the drink. Baileys Irish Cream liqueur and Amarula are two examples of cream liqueurs.
Creme liqueurs: Creme liqueurs are thick, sweet, syrup-like beverages. Unlike cream liqueurs, creme liqueurs do not contain dairy. Instead, added sugar provides a thick consistency. Crème de cassis (made from blackcurrants), crème de cacao, (a chocolate liqueur) and crème de menthe are different flavors of this category.
Coffee liqueurs: These liqueurs contain caffeine, and the predominant flavor is coffee. Coffee liqueurs, such as Kahlúa from Mexico or Irish Sheridan, are generally served with cream and sugar.
Elderflower liqueurs: These herbal liqueurs provide a light, floral note to cocktail recipes. St. Germain is a popular brand of elderflower liqueur.
Limoncello: A liqueur flavored with lemon peel. Limoncello is strong, sweet, and bright yellow.
Medicinal: Some liqueurs, such as Chartreuse and Benedictine, were initially used for medicinal purposes. These liqueurs tend to be floral and highly complex, with an ingredient list that remains secretive.
Orange liqueurs: These liqueurs feature predominant orange flavors, and are broadly known under the labels curaçao or Triple Sec. Popular brands include Cointreau and Grand Marnier.
Schnapps: Some varieties of schnapps do not classify as liqueurs, but those with added sweetness and flavoring agents, such as peach schnapps and peppermint schnapps, are liqueurs.
Drambuie: This Scottish liqueur has a base spirit of Scotch whiskey and a proprietary blend of herbs and spices.
Frangelico: Italian liqueur flavored with roasted hazelnuts; comes in a uniquely shaped bottle, modeled after a Christian monk, complete with a rope belt.
Strega: Italian herbal liqueur that gets its name from the Italian word for witch. The distinctive yellow color comes from saffron, imparting flavor to the liqueur.

Writing Notes: Book Series
Not every story needs a sequel, prequel, different angle, spin-off, etc. Some of the greatest stories stand alone. Have a compelling reason to go with a book series.
Readers love book series because they can follow a character through various adventures.
There may be a sad feeling you get at the end of a good book. But then that sadness melts away when you find out that the author is coming out with a new book in the series.
The readers get another chance to be with the characters that they love (or love to hate).
Basic Types of Book Series
One story arc that’s too big for one book and is fleshed out over multiple books
Self-contained, episodic stories that resolve by the end of the book and follow the same cast of characters
STUDY YOUR PREVIOUS NOVELS
Be sure that you follow the threads you’ve already created.
For the sake of continuity, pay close attention to the following:
The names and descriptions of minor characters
Characters’ motivations
Key events (such as birthdays, anniversaries and other pivotal moments)
Character language and phrasing (how they express themselves)
Character habits
Ideals they hold about themselves, their world and their future
Check, double check, triple check your story to make sure that there are no inconsistencies in the plot.
UNDERSTAND YOUR WORLD
When you’re writing a book series, you definitely need to have a clear understanding of the world your characters live within.
Chances are, each of your novels will exist in the same world.
Create a file that tackles the following:
What’s the physical description of the world?
What types of people live there? (how do they look, how do they dress, what are their beliefs)
What type of language is spoken there?
What’s considered normal?
What are social classes and how do they engage with each other?
What do they believe about wealth? Poverty?
What type of government do they have?
The more details, the better.
