Ingredients > Spirits > Blue curaçao

Curaçao is a liqueur flavoured with the dried peels of Larahas, a type of bitter orange grown on the island of Curaçao.

To create the liqueur, the peels of the Laraha are dried, bringing out their sweetly fragranced oils. After soaking in a still with alcohol and water for several days, the peels are removed and other spices are added. As of 2002, most Curaçao liqueur is produced synthetically elsewhere.

Blue Curaçao is primarily used as an exotic colouring agent in cocktails and other mixed drinks.
