Giffard Orange Curacao Liqueur 70 cl

Product Information

We believe that, at that time, the term Curaçao Liqueur was so popular, that Cointreau wanted to take advantage of that success.

So, using this will have a larger impact on the taste of your cocktail, just like a Grand Marnier would. Many Dutch colonists grew affluent from the slave trade, building impressive colonial buildings in the capital of Willemstad; the city is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This primary cocktail is said to have eventually inspired other classic drinks like the Cosmopolitan and Margarita. Brandy-Based: Many of the original curaçaos had either a brandy or rum base and a few orange liqueurs continue to use brandy or Cognac. Whether you are a seasoned mixologist or just looking to try something new, these drinks are sure to impress.While top-shelf is not required, it's best with a smooth vodka that you enjoy drinking straight or in mixed drinks. Approximately 30 Spaniards and many indigenous people were then deported to Santa Ana de Coro in Venezuela. The family, Senior and Chumaceiro, started selling their liqueur in 1896 in their pharmacy in small quantities. It's made in a style similar to a curaçao, in which a base pot-stilled spirit is flavored with bitter orange and spices.

As the Dutch West Indies Company took control of Curaçao in 1634, the liqueur made from laraha oranges emerged. Triple Sec was invented in 1834 in the kitchen of distiller Jean-Baptiste Combier and his wife, Josephine.This is mainly to make it easier for consumers to understand what the product is, the same as Cointreau did in their beginning. Supposedly, because Cointreau wanted to distance itself from the many cheap Curaçao liqueurs on the market.

In the years after, Triple Sec became the standard in the industry which ‘dethroned’ the term Curaçao Liqueur. Others say it is a reference to triple distillation (which doesn’t actually occur in its preparation). It’s one of the best fruity cocktails to serve during summer because it contains strong rum, is powerfully tart with a mild sweetness, and has a citrus zing. When tasting Curacao for yourself, you can expect a mix of both bitter and sweet flavors coming from the dried peels of oranges that this drink is made from – not to mention a blend of various spices too.Grand Marnier has a very distinct flavor, and it will stand out for its unique orange flavor in any mix. Some other liqueurs are also sold as curaçaos with different flavors added, such as coffee, chocolate, rum and raisin. The first Europeans recorded as seeing the island were members of a Spanish expedition under the leadership of Alonso de Ojeda in 1499. Created by Tony Abou-Ganim, a renowned bartender, this cocktail is a modified Sidecar that replaces brandy with spiced rum. If you enjoy orange-flavored cocktails with a bit of a punch, the Long Island Iced Tea is perfect for you.
