Page "Argentine cuisine" Paragraph 45

There are many artisanally produced liqueurs ( distilled, flavored alcoholic beverages ) in Argentina, for example those flavored with orange, egg, anise, coffee, cherry and, inevitably, dulce de leche.

The Hesperidina is a type of liqueur made from orange peels, invented in Argentina around 1890.

One may also encounter chitronchelo or ( in Italian ) citroncello, based on lemon.

This beverage arrived with immigrants from the Mezzogiorno, and is produced both artisanally and industrially ( for example, at Mar del Plata ).
