Alcohol plus added sugars make liqueur doubly risky for gout, despite negligible purine content.
Good
Liqueurs are very low in purines, so they don't add direct purine load. An occasional, very small serving may not cause an issue for some people with well-controlled gout.
Bad
The alcohol in liqueur increases uric acid production and reduces its excretion. Most liqueurs are also very high in added fructose, which can directly spike uric acid levels and trigger a flare.
