Origins
Curaçao is a liqueur flavoured with the dried peel of the green oranges originally from the West Indian island of Curaçao, a tropical paradise, having beautiful secluded beaches that enjoy sunshine most days of the year. Initially discovered by accident, the drink was first developed and marketed by a Spanish family from Curaçao in the 19th century. The liqueur has an orange flavour with varying degrees of bitterness. The most common Blue Curaçao is a stunning deep blue. MONIN Blue Curaçao liqueur will induce colour into your drinks and bring a light exotic aroma! It is perfect to fancy your drinks!

Beverage Innovation Directors tips
Blue Curaçao liqueur is a must-have in every single bar! The colour gives a touch of mystery to any cocktail, with its colour from deep blue to light green, depending on the ingredients it is combined with. I like to mix it with coconut flavours as the colour is going green, and the taste becomes very round.
