Liqueur-led cocktails
Liqueur-led drinks put a flavoured, usually sweeter liqueur in the driver's seat instead of a base spirit — coffee, herbal, fruit or nut liqueurs doing the work that gin or whisky would do elsewhere. They tend to be lower-proof and more approachable to newer drinkers, since the liqueur itself already carries most of the flavour decisions.
