Talk:liqueur

Is it the same as liquor? Ferike333 16:30, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Not exactly. liquor is a distilled alcoholic beverage such as brandy, cognac, whisky, bourbon, schnapps, vodka, or gin (but not beer or wine); liqueur is only the fancier, sweet, highly flavored liquors, such as chartreuse, curaçao, and slivovitz. —Stephen 17:02, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Correction: slivovitz is a distilled liquor without added sugar. 24.29.228.33 22:03, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

That's nice because my language uses the word liquor for your liqueur and ... for liquor, I think. Ferike333 11:33, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
