Orange Curaçao liqueurs

Curaçao liqueurs can be translucent or coloured blue, red and orange. The colours are purely decorative and were developed for cocktail bartenders, although the flavour of each colour may differ slightly with a producer creating slightly different styles.

Curaçao is used by liqueur makers the world over as a generic name for orange-flavoured liqueurs but one brand of Curaçao, Senior's Curaçao of Curaçao, is actually distilled on the Caribbean island of Curacao.
