Character & context
Understanding Citrus Liqueurs
Citrus liqueurs span orange-led triple sec and curaçao styles, lemon liqueurs and more. Cointreau illustrates the use of sweet and bitter orange peels; other producers use different fruit, base spirits and extraction methods. Compare aroma, sweetness and strength before substituting one bottle for another. A citrus liqueur can play the leading role in a small after-dinner pour or supply structure to a cocktail.
