Blue Curacao

Blue Curaçao is a liqueur flavored with the dried peel of the Laraha citrus fruit, which is then artificially coloured blue for effect.

It’s a great ingredient to use in cocktails because it pretty much has everything you could ever want as a cocktail mixer:

  1. It has an enticing colour.
  2. It has a bitter orange taste that blends well with most flavours.
  3. It has a great amount of alcohol in it.
