Triple sec Liqueurs ( including the Triple Sec brand, Curacao, Grand Marnier and Cointreau )
Triple sec, which means 'Triple distilled', is a strong, sweet and colorless orange flavored liqueur. The word 'Sec' usually means 'dry' but in relation to liqueurs it means 'distilled'. All triple sec drinks ( such as  the Triple Sec brand, Curacao, Grand Marnier and Cointreau) undergo a three-stage distillation process. Many of the Triple sec drinks are made from the dried peel of oranges found on Curacao, an island in the Caribbean, off the coast of Venezuela.

The first triple sec drink was the Cointreau liqueur which was developed by Adolphe and Edouard-Jean Cointreau in France in 1849.

Rainbow Liqueur Drinks - Floating Liqueurs
Ever wondered how bartenders create those unusual rainbow effects when making cocktails?

This creates a rainbow effect in a glass when using different colored liqueurs or cordials. Liqueurs are sometimes referred to as Cordials, which causes some confusion.
