The history of liqueurs dates back to the 11th century, when various European monasteries began treating the sick with herbal elixirs. Plant-based liqueurs such as Bénédictine and Kümmel gained wider recognition in the 16th century, and drinks like Jägermeister, Chartreuse, and Amaro remain popular digestifs today.
A very popular category is cream liqueurs, where milk or cream is added to create a silky and mild beverage. These are enjoyable on their own and work perfectly in cocktails, as a coffee addition, or as an ingredient in desserts. Well-known cream liqueurs include Irish Cream, Amarula, and Dooley’s.
Beyond herbal and cream liqueurs, there are many distinctive varieties with rich flavors, such as the lemony Limoncello, minty Crème de Menthe, coconut-flavored rum-based Malibu, or orange-flavored Curaçao. Whatever your taste preference, Araxes offers a wide and representative selection of liqueurs, ensuring there is something for everyone!
