Orange liqueur is a sweet, orange-flavored spirit that ranges from clear to amber. It delivers bright citrus oils with a zesty peel aroma and a syrupy body that balances acidity and gentle bitterness. Commonly shaken into cocktails, flambeed over desserts, or brushed onto cakes; sold as triple sec or curaçao around 30-40% ABV.

Curaçao-style orange liqueurs emerged from Dutch and Caribbean production using dried bitter orange peels, and were refined in 19th-century France into triple sec; today they anchor classic cocktail traditions worldwide.
