What Is Triple Sec?
A clear, dry orange-flavored liqueur made from the peels of bitter and sweet oranges. It has a bright citrus aroma with a balanced sweetness and a slightly dry finish. Commonly used in cocktails, it adds depth and complexity to drinks like Margaritas, Cosmopolitans, and Sidecars. Triple sec varies in sweetness and intensity, with some versions being more refined and others more syrupy. Pairs well with tequila, vodka, and brandy.
