Chocoholics, take note: here's a digestivo that looks and drinks like rich chocolate syrup. The flavor lands somewhere between milk chocolate and semisweet, and it's like a dessert in itself. Some may find the superthick, palate--coating liqueur too rich for sipping—in which case, pour it over ice cream, affogato style.
First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
