Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Blue Curacao?
Curacao is a liqueur that comes from the dried orange peels of the bitter Lahara orange, grown on the Caribbean island of Curacao.
As a result, it tastes like oranges and, in its original form, is actually colorless. The blue component of this alcohol simply derives from blue food dye.
In terms of potency, blue Curacao typically has an alcohol level of 20-25%.
What Does Blue Curacao Taste Like?
Because Curacao comes from oranges, the primary flavors are fruity and citrusy. There is also an additional bitter aroma derivative of the peels.
How Sweet Is Blue Curacao?
Because blue Curacao is a dry liqueur as opposed to a creme one, the sweetness level tends to be lighter and not too overpowering. It’s sweet enough to balance out the bitterness of the peel but won’t give you a sugar rush.
