Given the dominant colors green, white, and red, one naturally thinks of an Italian liqueur. But the ribbons around the bottle are blue, white, and red, so the liqueur could be French.

Description:
A woman is holding a bottle wrapped in streamers in a leafy setting.
A first sketch was made in 1920 and was titled "Cherry Brandy" under the reference Devambez 5100 (see first black and white photo 1920039B0). This sketch was lost and replaced in 1921 by a new one, titled "Liqueur" under the reference Devambez 5184 (see second black and white photo). This sketch, redone from memory, has some differences: in the woman's outfit, her left hand clearly shows the cherries with which the liqueur is made, and streamers are added.
In the color sketch, the cherries are replaced by leaves. The left hand no longer as clearly shows the base ingredient of the liqueur.
