Classroom Liquor Stock and Buying Guide

Liqueurs → French-style Liqueurs (and Crèmes)

French-style liqueurs are distilled, either primarily or as geist spirits, from natural ingredients (unless labeled as imitation, which means that the liqueur was simply compounded)
French-style liqueurs contain at least 100 grams of sugar-per-liter
French-style crèmes contain at least 250 grams of sugar-per-liter and are more intense in flavor than liqueurs

The following liquors are stocked in the classroom, along with others that are not mentioned here.
To learn more about types, tastes and advantageous selection of liquor, sign up for a Liquor Sommellery Course at Elemental Mixology.
