Licor 43 Cuarenta Y Tres is Spain's most iconic liqueur, crafted in Cartagena and inspired by a centuries-old recipe said to date back to ancient Roman times. The name "Cuarenta y Tres" refers to its signature blend of 43 natural ingredients, including Mediterranean citrus fruits, aromatic botanicals, and warm spices. Produced by Diego Zamora S.A., Licor 43 is renowned for its radiant golden color and smooth, vanilla-forward character. Exceptionally versatile, it is enjoyed neat, over ice, mixed with coffee, or as a key ingredient in contemporary cocktails and dessert-style serves.
