Question
what"s the defference between liquer & liquoer?
Hi Irad
Hmmm. This is a tough one. I think the two words you mean are Liquor and Liqueur.
Liquor is a general term that means just about any alcoholic beverage--anything that you can buy in a liquor store.
Liqueur is usually a sweet and fairly alcoholic drink that is intended as a digestif after dinner--something like Amaretto or drambuie.
So all liqueurs are liquors, but not all liquors are liqueur!
