About This Style
What These Profiles Represent
Under U.S. TTB labeling standards, cordials and liqueurs are flavored distilled spirits made with natural flavoring materials or extracts and at least 2.5 percent sugar by weight. Berry liqueur is used here as a DUI Professional subtype label for berry-forward liqueur records, not as a claim that every product shares the same formula, fruit, base spirit, or legal designation.
Documented product context shows several berry families in one subtype. Marie Brizard describes its Blackberry liqueur as wild fruit macerated with superfine alcohol and refined with blackberry juice. Merlet describes Creme de Cassis de Saintonge as blackcurrants macerated in alcohol, then pressed, filtered, and sweetened. St. George describes its raspberry liqueur as beginning with fruit brandy and additional fruit juice to reach a 20% ABV liqueur.
The live DUI Professional profile set for Liqueur / Berry contains 4 profiles, all with usable producer information. Geography is mapped from manufacturer or production-location information: France for Marie Brizard and Merlet, Amsterdam for Bols, and Alameda, California for St. George Spirits.
The database average is useful for subtype screening, not for a consumed-drink assumption. For BAC simulation, use the selected drink record, actual pour volume, and product ABV, especially because individual berry liqueur records in this subtype range from 16% to 35% ABV.
Use these Berry profiles to compare ABV, serving size, and estimated standard-drink dose before adding a drink to a simulation. For case work, start with the specific drink profile and then adjust pour volume, drink timing, and any case-specific assumptions.
