Brand & History

Its name refers to the original recipe's 43 ingredients, a closely guarded combination of herbs, spices, citrus, and other botanicals. It has since become one of Spain's best-known liqueurs and is widely used in cocktails and mixed drinks.

Licor 43's recipe is a closely guarded secret, and the exact identity of all 43 ingredients has never been publicly disclosed. The number 43 is therefore part of the brand's identity as well as a reference to its original formulation.
