Finding how the different liqueurs are made, what they are made of is not hard 
to find out at all.

Finding when they got started, what country they started in, and who created 
them may require some work, but all the information is available somewhere in 
books or on the internet.

Liquors cover your base liquors, such as rum, vodka, whiskey, tequila, and gin 
etcetera, and any of these that have been aged.

Next in the catagory of liqueurs, which covers any of the above ingredients 
infused with other ingredients.  It's when you take tequila and orange peels 
in a jar and after a month strain the liqueur through a cheese cloth.  Or just 
putting buffalo grass in a bottle of vodka.

Next in the same catagory are liqueurs made by heating water with sugar and 
adding a flavored extract.

I've never made a liqueur, but If I were to make one I would make a liqueur 
that is not made commercialy, like a sassafras, black - and English walnut, 
lavander, rosemary, butter pecan etcetera.

There is a book called "Cordials from Your Kitchen," by Pattie Vargas & Rich 
Gulling it has 150 pages filled with recipes.
