Best Liqueur Drinks

164 liqueur drinks tracked, averaging 10.3g carbs and 109 calories per serving. Liqueurs are built on added sugar syrup, so per-ounce carbs run well above beer or wine - the category's small 1.5oz standard serving is what keeps a single pour in check, not a lighter recipe. Sorted by DrinkLeader score (highest first), then carbs and calories.
