Liqueurs Blog

Top Shelf liqueurs have a great deal of authenticity. The flavours have been carefully matched to the commercial equivalents and sweetness, thickness, colour and alcohol strength are very close to the real thing. Each 50ml bottle will make a 1.125 litre (40oz) bottle of liqueur. All recipe ingredients and instructions are on the bottle label. I have divided the list into three groups, liqueurs, schnapps and cream liqueurs.
