Heavy orange peel and oil, light orange juice, and spicy citrusy ethanol. Surprisingly light and sweet on the tongue, hints of caramel and cinnamon bun, sweet candied oranges, and light ethanol. I'm honestly shocked how dessert-like this palate is considering the nose. The orange peel aroma is absent and in its place is a light high quality orange juice.
I'm getting more into cocktails so I'm buying liqueurs that I never buy. I figured why not track them on here to see what I like over time. I thought this would just taste like an orange peel based on the nose, but it is sweet and delicious on the tongue. I had no idea it would be such a great sipper, but I am saving the rest for mixing.

@Zachary-Robbins Victor Lazlo orders Cointreau neat for himself and his wife in Casablanca, so maybe there’s something there.
@Cornmuse same here. Triplesec Replacement/substitute. I use mainly in Margaritas (how original)
Nice notes. I agree this is delightfully surprising when tasted on its own. This is a bottle I keep on my bar at all times and I use this exclusively when a drink calls for triple sec.
@PBMichiganWolverine Sounds kinda odd lol, I've mostly been making margaritas and sidecars
I tried this with hot chocolate…really good if you like chocolate covered oranges
