background
The Licor 43 has been produced by the Diego Zamora SA distillery in Cartagena , Murcia region, since 1924 . It is said to have developed from a recipe that is over 2000 years old. With the takeover of Dethleffsen in 1998 , Berentzen also took over the distribution rights for Licor 43 and was able to more than quadruple sales in Germany in the four years that followed. In March 2009, Campari took over the German distribution of the liqueur, which in 2008 exceeded sales of one million bottles for the first time.
The liqueur owes its name to the 43 ingredients from which it is made according to a secret recipe. Most of them are spices , one of the ingredients is vanilla , which you can taste most clearly. In Spain the liqueur is usually only called "Cuarenta y Tres", after the Spanish words for the number "forty-three".
It has also established itself - in discos and nightclubs, especially on Mallorca - mixed with milk as a long drink under the name Milch 43 / Blanco 43 or mother's milk , whereby Licor 43 and milk are mixed in a ratio of approximately 1: 3. In the summer of 2010 Licor 43 also came into glasses as 43 passion fruit juice in Germany. Mixing Licor 43 with orange juice is also widespread.
The taste is relatively sweet and characterized by vanilla.
In 2016 the variant Licor 43 Orochata came onto the market, a liqueur with 16% vol. With tiger nut milk and oriental spices.
