Adding flavourings to a base spirit, and you have a liqueur. Usually sweetened, too. Grape spirit, brandy, neutral grain spirit, whisk(e)y, rum, whatever, can be used as the base. The flavourings can be herbs, flowers, barks, roots, nuts, fruits, or even entirely artificial. Often regarded as the spirits for casual drinkers to drink, they offer a lot of variety. Many traditional liqueurs started life as medicines.
Gins are not liqueurs, since the flavouring isn't added to the final liquor. Flavoured vodkas and akvavits are liqueurs at least by the definition above, but are not usually considered as such so they're in the vodka category.
Some common types of liqueurs are:
- Cream liqueurs: Liqueurs with cream, thick and usually mild and very easy drinking. Drink straight or mix with milk. Won't keep too long, especially after being opened. Keep in the fridge. Creme liqueurs: Liqueurs with enough sugar to become thick and creamy in texture. No cream in these. Triple sec: Sweet orange liqueur. Curaçao is triple sec. Cointreau is widely regarded as the best brand.

Chartreuse Green Alcohol 55% Liqueur
Chartreuse Green Liqueur is the only liqueur in the world with a completely natural green colour. It is powerful and unique. Only two Chartreuse monks know the identity of the 130 plants, how to blend them and how to distill them into this world famous liqueur. They are also the only ones who know which plants they have to macerate to produce the natural green and yellow colours. And they alone supervise the slow ageing in oak casks.
