What is Licor 43 Speculoos?

Speculoos, but liquid

Licor 43 Speculoos is a cream liqueur developed with Licor 43 Original and the flavor of speculoos. The warm notes of cinnamon and rich caramel evoke the biscuit served with coffee, while the vanilla and citrus fruits of the Original keep it from tasting flat. It contains cream, which makes it full-bodied and smooth.

At 16% alcohol, it is much lighter than the Original at 31%. It is a distinctly wintry bottle: delicious chilled or with ice, but also in hot coffee or hot chocolate. Bear in mind that it is a sweet liqueur, with 38 grams of sugar per 100 ml; a small glass is enough.

This is how you drink it

Three wintry ways to serve Speculoos

The bottle itself says it tastes best chilled or with ice. In winter, it is also perfectly suited warm, in coffee or hot chocolate.

Chilled with ice

40 ml chilled Speculoos over a large ice cube in a tumbler, optionally with a speculoos biscuit on the side. This brings out the cinnamon and caramel most purely.
