🍺 What is Licor 43?
Licor 43 is a yellow Spanish liqueur that gets its name from the 43 ~secret~ herbs and spices in its recipe. It is sweet and tastes predominantly of vanilla.
It's tasty on its own, and great in mixed drinks. I mixed it with some Cherry Coke and thoroughly enjoyed it. Licor 43 is probably best known as the boozy component of a Carajillo (bitter coffee + Licor 43).
🔀 Substitutions or Variations
- Use a different vanilla liqueur. It likely won't be quite the same, especially in color, but you could substitute another vanilla liqueur for Licor 43.
