Was ist Orange Curacao?
Orange Curaçao is a sweet and sometimes bitter orange-flavored liqueur made from the dried peels of the Laraha citrus fruit, a bitter orange variety native to the island of Curaçao. It is a key ingredient in numerous classic cocktails, lending a vibrant orange essence and balancing sweetness.
"While often categorized with Triple Sec, true Orange Curaçao typically features a more complex bitter-sweet profile due to the unique Laraha orange peel."
