Licor 43 Spanish Liqueur is a Liqueur hailing from Spain.

What is Licor 43 Spanish Liqueur?

Licor 43, a golden-hued Spanish liqueur, captivates with its complex blend of 43 secret ingredients, including citrus fruits, vanilla, and aromatic herbs and spices. Interestingly, this smooth spirit played a crucial role in the creation of the Carajillo, a popular Spanish cocktail that combines espresso with liquor, which originated during Spain's occupation of Cuba in the 19th century when soldiers would spike their coffee with Licor 43 for liquid courage.

Why do we love Licor 43 Spanish Liqueur?

Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Licor 43 for its complex blend of 43 secret ingredients, including citrus fruits, herbs, and spices, which create a distinctive vanilla-forward flavor profile. Unlike rum, which is distilled from sugarcane byproducts, this Spanish liqueur is a carefully guarded recipe dating back to Roman times, offering a sweet and aromatic alternative that adds depth and intrigue to a wide range of cocktails.

How do you drink Licor 43 Spanish Liqueur?

Licor 43's rich vanilla and citrus notes shine when sipped neat or on the rocks, allowing you to fully appreciate its complex flavor profile. This versatile Spanish liqueur also works beautifully in creamy cocktails or as a flavorful addition to coffee drinks, making it perfect for warm summer evenings or as an after-dinner treat year-round, especially when paired with desserts like flan or chocolate-based sweets.

Nose: Vanilla and citrus dominate, with hints of cinnamon, anise, and other aromatic herbs. There's a subtle sweetness reminiscent of caramel and butterscotch.

Palate: Smooth and syrupy texture. Vanilla remains prominent, joined by orange peel, lemon zest, and a touch of chocolate. Herbal notes of chamomile and thyme emerge. The sweetness is balanced, not cloying, with a spicy undercurrent.

Finish: Medium to long. Warm and lingering with vanilla and citrus slowly fading. A gentle spice tingle remains on the tongue, along with a subtle nuttiness reminiscent of almond.

Licor 43 is crafted using a closely guarded secret recipe that combines 43 natural ingredients, including citrus fruits, aromatic herbs, and spices. These botanicals are carefully macerated, blended, and aged in oak barrels, resulting in a smooth, golden liqueur with complex notes of vanilla, citrus, and spice.

  • Licor 43's secret recipe dates back to Roman times and is said to have been discovered in Cartagena, Spain over 2000 years ago. The liqueur's name comes from its 43 mysterious ingredients, which are still closely guarded by just three family members today.
  • Despite its sweet, vanilla-forward flavor profile, Licor 43 doesn't actually contain any vanilla. The distinctive taste comes from a carefully balanced blend of Mediterranean citrus fruits and aromatic herbs and spices.
  • In Spain, Licor 43 is popularly used to create a unique cocktail called "Carajillo 43." This drink involves pouring hot espresso over ice-cold Licor 43, creating a striking visual effect as the two liquids swirl together without fully mixing.
