Liqueur n. Any of various strongly flavored alcoholic beverages typically served in small quantities after dinner. (The American Heritage College Dictionary)

Wikipedia goes on to say liqueurs are high-alcohol, high-sugar beverages with added flavorings usually derived from herbs, fruits or nuts. Liqueurs are distinct from flavored liquors, fruit brandy and eau de vie, which contain no sugar.

Most liqueurs range between 15 and 70 percent alcohol by volume.
