Liqueurs are one of the most notoriously difficult categories of alcohol to define. The advent of flavored or infused spirits, most obviously fruit-flavored vodkas, has blurred the boundaries even further. The defining factor of any liqueur is that it contains a significant addition of sugar.
The word liqueur comes from the Latin word "liquefacere", meaning to melt or dissolve. This is a very early reference to the practice of flavoring spirits with various organic agents.
The very first liqueurs are thought to have been medicinal. Monasteries around the world developed their own remedies for various ailments made from a base spirit enhanced by whatever herb or fruit extracts were available. Widespread international trade in the 16th Century revolutionized the liqueur world when new ingredients and spices became available in Europe.
