Deep Blue Since 1695, De Kuyper has been the world’s most famous spirits and liqueurs company in the Netherlands, with a product range so diverse that some of its offerings have become indispensable ingredients in numerous cocktails. Blue Curaçao, with its unmistakable cobalt blue color, is the result of distilling carefully selected oranges, lemons, and bitter oranges (Curaçao, to be precise). These three elements, distilled strictly separately, are blended with great care to create this final product, which proves incredibly versatile for mixing a wide variety of cocktails. With a very intense and deep cobalt blue color, it is characterized by a bittersweet aroma of candied peel, orange blossom, and citron, along with sweet hints of caramel and cotton candy, as well as notes reminiscent of sugared almonds. The taste is full-bodied and smooth, brimming with freshness and featuring a velvety, rounded body that shines best when mixed with other drinks and plenty of ice, leaving a long, minty finish.
