Butterscotch liqueur is a sweet, golden-colored alcoholic beverage flavored predominantly with butterscotch, which is made from brown sugar and butter. This liqueur typically has a smooth, rich taste and a creamy texture, often enhanced with hints of vanilla and caramel. It's commonly used in the world of mixology to add depth and sweetness to cocktails, providing a dessert-like quality that can complement and balance the potency of stronger spirits. Popular in decadent drinks and winter cocktails, butterscotch liqueur pairs well with coffee, cream, and whiskey-based beverages. It can also be enjoyed neat, over ice, or as a dessert topping to enrich the flavor of various desserts.
