It’s almost Cinco de Mayo and it’s time to party up! Get your almost a holiday groove on with this amazing cocktails courtesy of Licor 43. What is this unusual liquor? Licor 43 is a sweet, bright yellow citrus/vanilla flavored spanish liqueur made from a combination of 43 ingredients, including citrus and fruit juices, herbs, spices and vanilla. Tasty, versatile and plays well with others (spirits). Not only does it make great cocktails, it works well as after-dinner cocktails and also paired up with food!
Licor 43 is produced in Spain by the Diego Zamora company. According to the producers, it is an ancient recipe, dating back to 200 B.C. and the recipe was passed down from generation to generation until in 1924 it was purchased by Diego Zamora, along with a distillery in Cartagena, Murcia, Spain. Since then it has become a very popular drink in Spain.
