I was in Spain a few years ago, in Marbella. During our stay we ate at a couple of restaurants that served a cold, sweet, and fruit infused liquor.
Do any of you know what the name of that liquor is called, or have a recipe?

I remember is being very sweet, having a schnapps flavor, it also had pears, cinnamon sticks, and I think another fruit but I just can't remember it all.

I know it was given to us free after our meal and it was just awesome!!

Thanks for the help!!

Sweet? Have your checked sangria? It'll give you a headache, but tourist seem to love it.

The after dinner liquors, called "chupitos" where I live can be of many different flavours. They have pear, apple, herbs, etc. so it would be difficult to pin point one exact one. They also have a hazelnut one, that perhaps tastes a bit more likewhat you are describing.

Robert..Yea it not Sangria, but thanks.

lincasanova, your description is more what I was looking for. It was a clear cool liquor, with fruits and spice. It was very good, and soothing. I will have to look up the ingredients of "chupitos"

Thanks.

Chupito can translate as a shot, a small glass. What you were served was probably Pacharán, a traditional and very popular Navarra licquor made of red berries.

Could it be Pacharán? It's a sloe-flavored liqueur with spices, served cold. We had it in Madrid, and bought a bottle to bring home. It was reddish, though, not clear.

lincasanova

but the one she had was CLEAR. Could it have been anís? More licorice than spicey.

Ron con meil? Had that in Granada recently.

Maybe, licor de manzana verde (apple liqueur) or licor de melocotón (peach liqueur). Both are often given free after a meal.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions. However, none of these fit what we had.
I don't know if it was something specific for that restaurant or what.

Again thanks...

There are also many types of orujo(s) which are clear and fortified liquor. Some have a fruit tinge to them, We bought (and finished) a bottle that had a peach tinge I believe, but there are many types. It is not really that sweet, but perhaps compared to other harder liqors yes, slightly.

When you have a taste of it in a small glass, after dinner usually, they are indeed referred to as "chupitos" as Lin said. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orujo

Greetings from Galicia..
I personally think the drink offered was Orujo (Aguardiente in the rest of Spain). It is served in glasses called a Chupito. It is drunk at leisure and certainly not in one hit. It can be served as it is distilled, as a white liquid or additives, including fruits can be blended.
The best comes from Galicia, where the name is protected.
