English translation:Liqueurs prepared from ...
Explanation:
Liqueurs prepared (or made) from blossoms (or flowers) and fruit....

Depending on your context and target audience, it might be worthwhile to distiguish between liqueur and cordials:

"Most people use the terms cordial and liqueur interchangeably. Though both describe liquors made by combining or redistilling spirits with one or more aromatic flavorings and are usually highly sweetened, there are subtle differences. Liqueurs are flavored with flowers, herbs, seeds, roots, plants, barks, or any number of spices, while cordials are generally prepared with fruit pulp or juices."

made


Explanation:
Liqueurs which are made with blossoms and fruits (for some reasons it feels better to me to reverse the sequence of fruits and blossoms, probably to do with rhythm).

Boring, I know, but a normal usage. Prepared (cf. other proposals)is also much used.

I meant to make it \"fruits and blossoms\" - I prefer this rhythm after \"made with\", it flows better.
