Answer:

An elixir is a hydro-alcoholic solution of at least one active ingredient. The alcohol is mainly used to:  Aid in masking the unpleasant taste of the active ingredient(s) Enhance the flavor.

Explanation:

Elixirs contain 4-40% of alcohol (ethanol). They may contain glycerin and syrup for increasing the solubility of medicaments or for sweetening purposes. Elixirs may also contain suitable flavoring and coloring agents. Preservatives are not needed in elixirs as the alcohol content is sufficient to act as a preservative.
