Do you have a bottle of Triple Sec that’s been hanging around in your liquor cabinet forever? Wondering how to use it up?
There are so many amazing Triple Sec drinks out there!
Triple Sec is a clear, dry, strongly-flavored orange liqueur. In most cases, it is made from unripened orange peels that are steeped in a base spirit derived from sugar beets.
I typically use it in my favorite Cosmopolitan Cocktail, but it’s also a key ingredient to many margarita recipes!
Triple Sec is an inexpensive liqueur. There are many different brand name choices. But, on average, a 750 ml bottle costs between $10-$15 at the liquor store.
It’s similar to Cointreau, but its flavor is not as complex. Cointreau has notes of warm spices and has a nice balance between sweet and bitter. Triple Sec is more one note, but it’s delicious in many cocktails.
So let’s get started!
