96 drinks · Updated October 2026

Orange liqueur is a broad category of sweetened spirits flavored with orange peel. It includes curaçao, originally made with the bitter laraha oranges of Curaçao, and triple sec, with differences in base spirit, sugar and strength. In cocktails it contributes both citrus flavor and sugar, often balancing fresh lemon or lime juice. The Margarita combines it with tequila and lime. The Sidecar pairs it with cognac and lemon, while the Mai Tai uses orange curaçao with rum, lime and orgeat.
