Your feedback
Good for you

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 for you

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.
