The peculiarity of such an alcoholic drink as liqueur is a sweet and sugary taste. The culture of drinking such a drink lies in the careful selection of an appetizer that most often harmonizes with the taste of the liquor itself.
Certain types of food give the liquor a pleasant aftertaste and also prevent it from rapidly promoting intoxication.
Creamy, coffee, nut liqueurs
It is customary to complement liqueurs with such a taste with a good baked snack. For example, it can be muffins, cookies, or sweet tartlets. Since it is not customary to drink liquor like some spirits, in one gulp, you can have a snack after each sip. The drink is considered a dessert drink due to its sweet taste, so the appetizer can be sweet or moderately sweet.
Chocolates with creamy, nutty, chocolate filling perfectly complement the taste of the liqueur. So that the drink does not seem so cloying and too sweet, you can snack on it with dark chocolate, which also perfectly sets off the taste.
Cakes and pastries can serve as a good snack for liqueur with creamy, coffee or nutty flavors. It is very important to choose the right not so much the cake itself, but its taste. Dry and puff pastries and cakes do not go well with liqueurs, but soaked in syrup or chocolate are ideal.
Fruit and herbal liqueurs
Fruit liqueurs usually have a distinct one fruity note, which allows you to pick up a variety of snacks to it. For example, it can be fruits or berries. It doesn't have to be the same fruit or berry as the taste of the liqueur. Not. A perfect combination of banana liqueur and apples or pears for a snack, orange liqueur with kiwi or mango.
Fruit-filled baked goods can be a good addition to fruit or herbal liquor. For example, lemon liqueur and croissants with lemon jam go well. Herbal liqueur has a special taste and aroma, but it is also good to have a snack with baked goods or fruits. Desserts like fruit salads, mixes, and even frozen yogurt are also a good idea.
Regardless of the taste of the liqueur, you can eat it with ice cream. The taste of the delicacy can be anything. For example, pistachio ice cream goes well with chocolate liqueur, and creamy ice cream with pieces of fruit goes well with fruit liqueur. Bitter and strong liqueurs go well with dried fruits, nuts, candied fruits. Such an appetizer will not only complement the rich taste of the drink, but also make it softer and more tender. Since liqueurs are in most cases flavored drinks, they are rarely eaten. Rather, they savor and complement the taste with desserts.
