Liqueurs are sweetened alcoholic drinks, often flavoured with fruit, coffee or mint. The figures here describe low- to medium-strength liqueurs, including cherry brandy, Tia Maria and crème de menthe. They mainly provide carbohydrate and alcohol, with little protein and no fat. Per 100ml, they contain 33g of sugars, 20g of alcohol and 1099 kJ of energy.
Both sugar and alcohol contribute to the energy content, which is relevant for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. The low- to medium-strength description refers to alcohol strength, not to sugar or energy content. Alcohol can impair judgement and coordination. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100ml of the food as described (20-28% ABV. 10 samples including cherry brandy, Tia Maria and Creme de Menthe). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
