Orange liqueur (optional, for adults)
Description
Orange liqueur (optional, for adults) is an aromatic, clear or amber drink with a distinct sweet-and-sour flavor of orange peel, floral notes, and a slightly bitter finish; the alcohol content usually ranges from 15–40%, and the consistency is smooth and syrupy. In the kitchen, it works well in cocktails, desserts, sauces for meats, cakes, and glazes, where it enhances citrus aromas, adds sweetness, and balances rich flavors, used exclusively by adults due to its alcohol content. In terms of nutritional value, liqueur is a source of calories mainly from alcohol and sugar, with virtually no vitamin C or flavonoids, so health benefits are limited and mainly pertain to flavor aromatherapy with moderate consumption. Store in a tightly closed bottle in a cool, dark place; once opened, it can be kept in the refrigerator to preserve aroma and prevent loss of quality.
