What is the difference between liquor and liqueur?
A liquor is an alcoholic drink that is distilled from grains or plants,
such as rum, vodka, gin or whiskey.
A liqueur is a sweet or herbal alcoholic drink that is made from fruit,
herbs, flowers, nuts or spices plus (usually) sugar and a spirit such as
grain alcohol, vodka or rum.
