Orange Curaçao

Orange curaçao is a sweet, orange-flavored liqueur that pours clear to amber depending on style. It delivers bright bitter-orange aroma with candied peel notes and a warming finish. Use it to shake or stir cocktails, flame crêpes and desserts, or add orange depth to syrups and sauces. Sold at 20–40% ABV in clear, orange, or blue styles; sweetness and proof vary by producer.\n\nThe liqueur developed on Curaçao, where distillers macerated and distilled dried peels of the local Laraha citrus before sweetening. Dutch and French producers popularized it, and it became a staple of classic European and American cocktails.
