A triple sec from Giffard of Angers, France — the family house crafting liqueurs since 1885 — made from the distillates of bigarade sweet and bitter oranges. Triple sec is an orange liqueur distilled three times at 20–40°: the fruit peels macerate for several months in vats filled with alcohol to obtain an infusion which is then distilled. Curaçao, originally made by the Dutch, takes its name from the island of Curaçao in the Netherlands Antilles, which produces small bitter oranges. Lactose-free, gluten-free, vegan, and preservative-free.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Translucent and crystalline — very pure, becoming slightly opalescent over ice.
Nose: Fresh and candied citrus, typical of sweet and bitter oranges.
Palate: Sweet and delicate, fresh citrus fruit with a slight note of bitterness typical of orange and grapefruit peels; on ice, livelier, with eucalyptus and orange blossom notes.
How to Use: Pure on crushed ice or in cocktails — the premium backbone of Margaritas, Sidecars, and Cosmopolitans.
