How To Use This Ranking
Use ABV as the first filter
This page is sorted to surface the strongest liqueur choices first. Start with the top ten, then compare score and calories.
Check serving size before you order
The current shortlist reaches a ceiling of 68.0% ABV, so confirm the pour size before treating a high-proof pick like a standard serving.
Cross-reference carbs separately
Strength and carbs move independently, so a high-ABV pick is not automatically low-carb. This shortlist still averages 7.5g carbs per 1.5 oz serving.
