liquor

40% ABV

Also known as “spirit”. Liquor, as regards cocktails, is generic for any spirit where the choice is left up to the bartender or drinker (in drinks or situations where the character of the liquor is either irrelevant, in dispute, or variable as regards the taste of the recipe). Generally, the choice is assumed to come from a common “base ingredient”: gin, whiskey, brandy or rum, but sometimes it’s important to look beyond the obvious.
