licor — liqueur

🍸🍯 licor = liqueur; both come from Latin liquor, meaning a liquid

Spanish licor and English liqueur share one Latin root: liquor, a liquid, from liquere, to be fluid. Put the stress on the last syllable: li-COR. A tap of the tongue makes the r, like the tt in a quick American butter.
