A crème liqueur is a liqueur that has a great deal of additional sugar added to the point that it has a near-syrup consistency. Unlike cream liqueurs, crème liqueurs include no cream in their ingredients. "Crème" in this case refers to the consistency. This category includes: Crème de banane – Banana Crème de cacao – Cocoa or chocolate Crème de cassis – Blackcurrant Crème de Cerise – Sour cherry Crème de menthe – Peppermint or Corsican mint Crème de mûre – Blackberry Crème de Noyaux – Almond, apricot kernel, or peach kernel Creme de violette – Violet Creme Yvette – Violet, fruit, and others Parfait d'Amour – Varies by maker, typically flowers with citrus
