My go-to Triple Sec (admittedly due to budget). It's like the mixture of Cointreau and a cheaper, more sugary Triple Sec, but in a fantastic way. It feels like it has more body and sweetness than Cointreau, but still retaining a good orange peel flavour and aroma, resulting in it not lacking, yet being quite sweet on its own, forgoing the need for additional simple syrup in some occasions.

De Kuyper made both a 20% "Curacao Triple Se and a 40% "Triple Sec". The 40% version is difficult to tell from Cointreau when blind tasting and is available from online retailers including www.TheWhiskyExchange.com

Do you know if there is any difference between the De Kuyper Triple Sec and the De Kuyper Curacao Triple Sec apart from the ABV (40 % vs. 20 %)?

Could well be formulated from the same base with less alcohol and less sugar to retain balance. However, I don't consider a "triple sec" under 40% alc./vol. to be a triple sec as the alcohol strength is a major component in recipes such as the one above.
