Licor 43 Caramel Cookie Liqueur
16% ABV (32 proof) | 750mL | Limited edition | Serve chilled — Licor 43 Caramel Cookie is the latest dessert-inspired limited edition from Spain's Zamora Company: the signature vanilla, citrus, and spice of Licor 43 Original blended with caramel, cinnamon, and caramelised biscuits, on a smooth cream base. Inspired by the classic speculoos biscuit, it follows Licor 43 Chocolate (2021) and Crème Brûlée (2023) — and like them, it's only around while stocks last. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
The pour is indulgence in a glass: warm spiced-cookie aromatics — cinnamon, golden caramel, vanilla — over Licor 43's familiar citrus-vanilla heart, with a rich, dark toasted color and golden nuances. Best served ice-cold over ice, where the full cookie-dough-meets-caramel character unfolds; it also pours beautifully over vanilla ice cream or into dessert-style coffee cocktails. Among cream liqueurs and dessert liqueurs, this is the one for the speculoos-and-latte crowd — limited edition, so it won't be restocked.
Tasting notes
Nose: caramelized biscuit, cinnamon, vanilla, golden caramel, subtle citrus. Palate: creamy and smooth; spiced cookie, vanilla, caramel, citrus lift. Finish: sweet and warming; vanilla and cinnamon linger. (Per brand and retailer notes.)
