Triple Sec is similar to Blue Curaçao in that it is made from oranges from the Caribbean island of Curaçao (situated just off the coast of Venezuela in South America). Triple Sec – literally meaning Triple Dry – is distilled three times – creating a liqueur which is drier to the taste and higher in alcohol strength than the Curaçao liqueurs– yet still keeping the juicy orange flavour.
De Kuyper Triple Sec is 40% ABV and is widely regarded as an economic alternative to Cointreau.
