A sweet, liqueur-like drink made from the fermented juice of a tropical fruit, or the Caribbean island where this drink originates.
Named after the island of Curaçao in the Dutch Caribbean. The drink was created on the island from locally grown fruit, particularly bitter oranges, and gained international fame through Dutch colonial trade routes.
Curaçao liqueur is orange-flavored but originally made from a fruit that's too bitter to drink—genius chemistry turned inedible fruit into something delicious! The bright blue version you see in bars is purely modern marketing; the original was clear or reddish.
