The taste palette of such cocktails varies from tart, almost bitter, to a sugary-sweet shade. Each connoisseur will be able to choose his own drink and even create his own recipe. It is enough to have the ingredients, a shaker, a blender and ice in order to create a completely new cocktail. Liqueur will provide the drink with an individual taste and character.

Aperol liqueur

Cocktails with liquor can be conditionally grouped according to the names of the bitters that have become the basis of the drink. Liqueur "Aperol" is known in Italy as a citrus aperitif and quite often competes with another popular low-alcohol drink - "Limoncello". About two dozen cocktails have been created on the basis of Aperol, from the tart and strong Aperol on the Rocks to the gentle Sour. However, the most popular cocktail based on Italian liqueur is the Spritz, which appeared in the 20th century in the province of Veneto. To prepare such a drink, you will need: 100 milliliters of liquor, 150 ml of dry sparkling wine, 50 ml of soda, preferably with citrus flavor, an orange slice and ice. Mix alcohol in a shaker, pour into a wine glass, then add soda and an orange slice. You can decorate the drink with them. The cocktail is served chilled.

The most popular "Chocolatini" is known for its high strength, coupled with a delicate taste of chocolate and vanilla. To prepare it, you will need 45 ml of Carolans Irish Cream, 15 ml of Crème de Cacao liqueur (any low-alcohol chocolate-based drink will do) and 15 ml of SKYY vodka, also ice and dark chocolate. The composition of liqueurs and vodka is thoroughly mixed in a shaker, after which ice is added. The drink is served cool in a martini glass, sprinkled with grated chocolate on top.

A more gentle variation of the cocktail, which girls simply adore, is simply called "Frappe".

One thing remains unchanged - a cocktail is made with liquor, and served burning. The composition of the drink includes three liqueurs: Baileys, Amaretto and any coffee. With the help of a teaspoon, the bartender pours coffee liqueur into a tall glass first, after the Baileys, and only at the end of the Amaretto. Then, with the help of a toothpick, the drink is set on fire and drunk already burning. Sometimes it is allowed to replace the coffee and Baileys liquor with the usual Sheridans. This variation of the classic alcoholic cocktail with liquor is softer and perfect for girls.

"Margarita"

From 1936 to 1948, several recipes for the classic Margarita appeared at once, the taste of which ranges from rich lemon to almost sweet vanilla.
