DeKuyper Blue Curacao 1L

DeKuyper's Blue Curaçao is made in Kentucky by John DeKuyper & Son, now part of Suntory Global Spirits, and flavored with the bitter Laraha orange of Curaçao. The US bottling is 48 proof, or 24%, stronger than the Dutch version sold in Europe.

The blue is for show; the flavor is sweet orange peel, the same job a triple sec does in a drink.

For a drink that only needs orange, Cointreau or Torada Triple Sec taste much the same without the color. Buy this one when the drink has to be blue: a Blue Lagoon, a Blue Hawaiian or a Blue Margarita.

DeKuyper's own recipe is the Blue Margarita. For a Blue Lagoon, pour it with vodka and lemonade over ice; for a Blue Hawaiian, use light rum, pineapple and coconut.
