<b>Variation:</b>

Some people like their liqueurs a little less sweet. To compensate for the reduction in sugar, glycerine is added to give the liqueur the smoothness expected. <a href="”http://allstarextracts.com/Glycerine”" target="”_blank”">Glycerine</a> is a natural sugar that won't affect the taste of your liqueur.
