The word
'liqueur' is derived from the Latin liquefacere which means 'to melt, or disolve'.This refers to the methods of flavoring the brandy or whisky which forms the base of the liqueur. There are several methods of obtaining the flavor from the fruits and spices. They are maceration, distillation and percolation. The final result of any of these methods, however, is that the flavor of the spice or fruit is dissolved into the alcoholic base. The choice of method used depends on the source from which the flavor is being extracted and on the particular flavor desired from the flavoring agent. Some flavoring agents will yield different flavors, depending on the type of extraction used. Maceration refers to the steeping of the aromatic/flavoring agent which has usually been bruised in water or alcohol for a period of time in order to extract an essence from it. This essence, then, is added to the base as the flavoring agent. Distillation refers to the distillation of the desired flavoring agent which has already been mascerated. This is often repeated many times with large amounts of the flavoring agent and reduced to a relatively small amount of liquid. This produces a very strong essence to be added to the bulk of the alcohol base. In percolation either water or the alcoholic base is allowed to drip though the flavoring agents or, it is heated and the steam passed through the agent prior to recondensing.
