Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 43 ingredients in Licor 43?

The exact recipe is a closely guarded trade secret — the 43 has never been publicly disclosed in full. Known and confirmed flavor components include Mediterranean citrus fruit peels, pure vanilla, cinnamon, and a range of aromatic herbs and spices consistent with a Mediterranean botanical tradition. The liqueur is produced in Cartagena, Spain by the Diego Zamora company, and the flavor profile is distinctly vanilla-forward with citrus brightness and a light herbal backdrop — closer in style to a French vanilla liqueur than to a herbal digestif like Chartreuse.

What is Licor 43 Horchata?

A collaboration expression blending Licor 43 with horchata de chufa — a traditional Spanish drink made from tiger nuts (chufa), water, sugar, and cinnamon native to the Valencia region. The result is dairy-free, vegan-friendly, and distinctly creamy in texture with cinnamon and tiger nut earthiness alongside the vanilla and citrus of the base Licor 43. It is one of the few mainstream cream-style liqueurs that achieves a creamy mouthfeel without any dairy.
