Triple sec is an enduring mainstay of the cocktail bar, a key ingredient in classics such as the Corpse Reviver, Margarita, Sidecar and the White Lady. More contemporary triple sec cocktails include the likes of the Cosmopolitan. This liqueur may play supporting roles, but it really is a cocktail superstar.
