Curacao Triple Sec
A selection of sweet oranges from
Brazil and Florida (Pera) and bitter
oranges from The Ivory Coast and
Sicily (Bigarade) results in a bouquet
of notes, smooth and sour
altogether. The different flavors
call to mind the Curaçao Island
and the West Indies.
The maceration of orange zest in
pure alcohol in a copper pot still
during several hours is followed by
a distillation.
The resulting orange spirit is
blended with crystallized sugar,
water to lower the percentage of alcohol and coloring when
needed. The final liqueur is filtered before bottling.
