Liqueurs, high strength

High-strength liqueurs are alcoholic drinks made from spirits with added flavourings and sugar. The figures here describe drinks containing 30–40% alcohol by volume. Per 100ml, they provide 1313 kJ of energy, 32g of alcohol and 24g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar. Alcohol and sugar are their main sources of energy; protein is present only in trace amounts.

Alcohol provides energy but is not an essential nutrient. Both the alcohol and sugar content are relevant for people monitoring their energy or sugar intake. These drinks provide little in the way of vitamins and minerals. The full nutritional figures are shown in the tables below.
