The irreplaceable taste
Although many liqueurs used to only be consumed as a digestif, this type of consumption has nearly disappeared these days. It was thanks to the advance of the cocktails that the liqueur have found their renewed success. They create irreplaceable tastes and stimulate creativity.
Bartenders can choose from nearly unlimited types and many types of liqueurs are used in many more cocktails, to which they add their specific aroma's.
Liqueurs are better not used as basic ingredients. Moreover, they are best not mixed with other liqueurs, because they will eliminate each others taste and they do not complete each other.
