Before bottling, aurum is aged for a specific period, which decides the flavor. The longer the alcohol ages, the more flavor it imparts. The clear color of the triple sec and the relative mild spice factor will often see it used with other unaged spirits such as vodka, gin and unaged or lightly-aged rums and tequilas. Common drinks made using triple sec are the Margarita, the Cosmopolitan and Corpse Reviver #2, among others. Bols is another Dutch company behind an inexpensive and dependable triple sec, one that is perfect for making a Cosmopolitan. The liqueur is flavored with Curacao orange peel along with a variety of botanicals, infusing it with a complexity that is unique for something at this price point.

Triple Sec vs. Curaçao: Detailed Comparison Long Island Iced Tea: This boozy drink is a concoction of five different liquors, one of them being Triple Sec. The other ingredients are lemon juice, syrup, and cola. Combier Liqueur d’Orange was first created in 1834 in Saumur, France. It is made using sun-dried bitter and sweet orange peels which are macerated in neutral spirit before distillation. The recipe for this triple sec was created by husband and wife confectioners Jean-Baptiste and Josephine Combier. Luxardo Triplum Triple Sec Curaçao was formerly part of the Curaçao and Dependencies colony from 1815 to 1954 and later the Netherlands Antilles from 1954 to 2010, as Island Territory of Curaçao (Dutch: Eilandgebied Curaçao, Papiamentu: Teritorio Insular di Kòrsou), [16] and is now formally called the Country of Curaçao. [13] It includes the main island of Curaçao and the much smaller, uninhabited island of Klein Curaçao ("Little Curaçao"). [13] Curaçao has a population of 158,665 (January 2019 est.), [3] with an area of 444km 2 (171sqmi); its capital is Willemstad. [13] Etymology [ edit ]Over time, the number of Spaniards living on Curaçao decreased while the number of aboriginal inhabitants stabilized. Presumably through natural growth, return and colonization, the Caquetio population then began to increase. In the last decades of Spanish occupation, Curaçao was used as a large cattle ranch. At that point, Spaniards lived around Santa Barbara, Santa Ana and in the villages in the western part of the island, while the Caquetios are thought to have lived scattered all over the island. In 1896, Senior & Co. started producing Curaçao Liqueur with the Laraha orange peel. Up until the early 21st century, Senior only communicated with Curaçao Liqueur. But as the name Triple Sec became the industry standard and a product name, we now communicate with Curaçao Triple Sec. This is mainly to make it easier for consumers to understand what the product is, the same as Cointreau did in their beginning.
