Licor 43 - 750ml

Description

Licor 43 is a Spanish vanilla-citrus liqueur made in Cartagena from a secret family recipe of 43 ingredients, including Mediterranean citrus fruits and selected botanicals. Its golden color, sweet vanilla, mature fruit, citrus peel, and gentle spice make it easy to recognize in cocktails. Bottled at 31% ABV, it is especially useful in coffee drinks, dessert cocktails, highballs, and creamy after dinner serves.

Producer

Licor 43 is produced by Diego Zamora, the Spanish company that helped bring the Cartagena recipe to wider attention in the mid-20th century. The brand’s name comes from its 43 ingredients, a closely guarded blend that gives the liqueur its vanilla, citrus, fruit, and spice profile. Today, Licor 43 is strongly associated with the Carajillo, one of its most popular modern serves.

Cocktail Suggestions

Licor 43 is a signature choice for a Carajillo with fresh espresso over ice. The liqueur’s vanilla, citrus, and spice notes round out the coffee’s bitterness, creating a simple Spanish-style coffee cocktail with a rich aroma and smooth finish.

It also adds dessert-friendly depth to a Mini Beer with a small cream float. Licor 43 provides the golden “beer” base with vanilla and citrus sweetness, while the cream creates the foamy top and turns the serve into an easy party shot or after dinner pour.
