It's flavored with the peels of the laraha citrus fruit that is grown on the island of Curaçao (which is where the liqueur gets its name).The laraha are descendants of the Valencia oranges that were brought to Curaçao in the 1500s by Spanish explorers. Neither the soil or climate were suited to grow oranges, and the original Valencia oranges evolved into the laraha is too bitter to be eaten. The skin, however, can be used. When making the curaçao liqueur, the laraha peel is dried. The drying process releases the laraha's sweetly fragranced essential oils. Once dried, the skins are soaked in alcohol and water for a few days before they are liqueur is actually colorless. Artificial color is added to it frequently, however, most commonly blue.

Blue curacao is an orange liqueur that makes beautifully bright cocktails! Here’s more about it and the best blue curacao drinks. Making a cocktail and it calls for Blue Curacao? Or found it at the store and not sure what it is? Don’t let the color fool you. The bottle is filled with orange liqueur, with a bittersweet flavor similar to a Triple Sec. But instead of being clear like Triple Sec, it’s tinted blue! This famous liqueur has been used to make blue drinks for decades, like the Blue Hawaii and more. But what exactly is it? Is it worth adding to your collection? Here’s what you need to know. What is Blue Curacao? Blue Curacao is an orange liqueur invented in the 19th century by Dutch settlers on Curaçao, an island in the Caribbean. There were originally several colors of Curaçao liqueur, including clear, blue, red, green and orange. The most popular colors today are blue and clear. The liqueur is flavored with the Laraha orange peel, a special type of orange tree that grows on the island. The original curacao liqueur has been made on the island since 1896. The Bols company invented Blue Curacao and started selling it as early as 1912. It’s become popular over the years for making blue tropical drinks that are often associated with beach resorts. Is Blue Curacao naturally colored? No! Food coloring is what gives it its distinctive hue. What does Blue Curacao taste like? Blue Curacao has a sweet orange peel flavor, with subtle bitter finish. The flavor is similar to Triple Sec, with a touch more bitterness. How much alcohol is in Blue Curacao? It varies based on the brand, but it’s usually around 25% ABV. This is a moderate alcohol content: compare it to 40% ABV for spirits like whiskey, rum, vodka and gin. Are there any substitutes? You can use Triple Sec or Cointreau as a substitute, then add a few drops of blue food coloring to get that signature color. (Really!) Why we like it Blue Curacao is one of the only ways to make a bright azure-tinted cocktail! While it has an artificial color, it’s worth it for the occasional splurge. We love it in a brilliant Blue Margarita. The flavor is uniquely bittersweet, making it very recognizable in a drink…though of course, you wouldn’t miss it from the color! How much does it cost? Compared to other liquors, Blue curacao is inexpensive. A 750 ml bottle costs about $10. Try to buy a mid-priced bottle since it’s typically indicative of overall quality. We like the brand Drillaud (avoid the DeKuyper brand). Most popular Blue Curacao drinks You can drink it straight, but it’s best mixed it into cocktails!

Blue curaçao, a liqueur supposedly made from the peel of the Laraha citrus fruit, is syrupy. It is an unnatural shade of electric blue. The liqueur’s most significant point of relevance was in the 1980s, in hyper-sweet drinks in disco hues (remember those neon-tinged drinks of yore? If you don't, you probably remember the mammoth of a hangover that came with them). Blue curaçao is the absolute opposite of craft, the antithesis of locally-sourced, and, somehow, it's elbowed its way back onto cocktail menus. “Blue curaçao has such a nostalgic flair,” explains Broken Shaker’s Bar Manager DJ Dodd, musing on the liqueur’s stubborn presence on cocktail menus. “It’s electric. You take the first sip with your eyes and it shocks you. You can't ignore it when you see it in a contemporary cocktail The Haterade cocktail with blue curacao at PrettyUgly Alexa Fernando Blue curaçao cocktails are part irony, part whimsy; seemingly reaching for a time when cocktails weren’t taken so seriously. And the spirit’s presence in cocktails reaches beyond Tiki or tropical tropes—blue curaçao is being poured into the full classic cocktail canon, in daiquiris, corpse revivers and beyond. Katana Kitten has a blue curaçao swizzle, topped with a fire truck red cherry. Pouring Ribbons has an azure drink poured over crushed ice. Chicago’s Sable slips blue curaçao into cosmopolitan and margaritas. Toronto’s PrettyUgly dedicates every Sunday to making blue cocktails. Broken Shaker churns out disco-colored cocktails across their locations. The origin of blue curaçao is cloudy. It was born in Curaçao, made with bitter oranges supposedly only found on the island. Sipped, the liqueur tastes of sweet citrus, a jarring mental disconnect from its oceanic color. Why the unnaturally psychedelic coloring (E133 "Brilliant Blue" dye) was added is unknown, though Curaçao locals will tell you it is dyed to reflect the island’s cerulean waters. The liqueur took off as a staple of umbrella drinks, largely due to a Waikiki bartender’s invention of the Blue Hawaii. It went on to fuel a host of neon-hued party drinks throughout the next two decades. Blue curaçao it fell from ubiquity as the hangover of ’80s cocktail hit, and the raft cocktail movement of the late ’90s hit. Blue curaçao was quickly maligned as a flag of poor quality and bad hangovers. Alley Cat's Kyle Law putting the finishing touches on a blue curacao cocktail Daniel Eastwood Kyle Law, General Manager of Savannah’s Alley Cat Lounge (one of Thrillist’s best bars in the country), may be the brand’s biggest fan. Night after night, Kyle sings the gospel of blue curaçao, whipping up neon sapphire cocktails and buying dozens of unassuming patrons complimentary shots of the "blue." Law doesn't work for Giffard. They do not sponsor him, and they do not give his bar any special perks; he is in no way associated with the brand in the slightest. His love for the liqueur is purely in the spirit of evangelism. He even has a custom-made blue curaçao bomber jacket (self-funded, naturally) and helped Movers and Shakers peddle “Make Cocktails Blue Again” t-shirts, bumper stickers, keychains and hats. He became enamored by blue when he was in the fine dining realm, “Wearing vests and bow ties and judging people for ordering flavored vodkas,” explains Law. “I wasn’t having fun He moved on to run a place of his own. There, he put the “Club de Rio Lema” on his menu. “It wasn’t a very complex cocktail⁠—a plug-and-play Pegu Club with pineapple-infused tequila, chocolate bitters and blue curaçao. People went nuts over Law cites Jacob Briars, now a Global Advocacy Director with Bacardi, for sparking the liqueur’s reign. In the early ’00s, Briars created the “Corpse Reviver No. Blue,” a blue-spiked riff on the classic combination of gin, cocchi americano, orange peel, absinthe and cointreau. “It was really designed to gently mock the extreme seriousness that had taken over the bar industry. In this era, there was a feeling that as long as a cocktail was at least 100 years old it must be good, and there should be a minimal concession to modern tastes. All I did was take one of these ancient ‘classics’ and make it more Kyle Law is a blue curacao evangelist Daniel Eastwood Back Bar Project’s co-founder Kaj Hackinen, who imports Giffard Blue Curaçao, furthers the idea. “There was a lot of dogmatic thought in the greater cocktail community around the selection of authentic cocktail ingredients. Bartenders around the world were adhering to rules and techniques that were deemed correct or appropriate by pioneers of the industry. Then the needle swung in the other direction and bartenders started having fun with cocktails Back Bar Project has seen sales of the day-glo liqueur continue to grow over the last few years. “It’s almost like everyone had to master the rules before they could start breaking them again. Though Briars created that spark over a decade ago, blue curaçao continues to thrive. Social media may be to blame: the bold color makes for a head-turning Instagram moment. “Before someone touches their lips to the glass, they've already begun consuming a cocktail with their eyes,” muses Hackinen. “Blue curaçao adds an unmistakable, vivid pop to a cocktail. It adds that interesting visual As Instagram takes over the drinks industry, is the visually brazen shade of blue curaçao the answer to getting more eyes and likes? The hashtag #makecocktailsblueagain certainly thinks so, if the hundreds of images attached to the hashtag are any indication. Blue curaçao’s continued reign is particularly impressive given the groundswell around local-sourcing and green-leaning beverage programs (just look at the fate of plastic straws). Some bartenders are cobbling together ways to bring blue curaçao into a sustainable mentality. Law creates a house blue curaçao where, “we take all-natural curaçao and blend it with a superfood called blue spirulina”. Derek Weiss, bartender at Péché in Austin, makes his from scratch, combining cognac, oranges, cloves, cassia bark and coriander. “But sometimes you just need that bottle of blue curacao,” argues Montauk Bar’s James Papastavros, a self-proclaimed fan of the liqueur. Many more bartenders are looking to butterfly pea flower, a natural-occurring plant that gives drinks a purple hue, or, when combined with an acid, fades to a sunset magenta shade, for a pop of color. Hackinen reminds us that even as notions of sustainability thrive in the drinking community, unnatural colors still reign. “We always like to remind people that two of the most popular cocktails on the planet with bartenders and consumers alike—the Negroni and Aperol Spritz—are bright
