Nicks Import Triple Sec

Triple Sec (or curaçaos) done right are some of the finest fruit liqueurs money can buy. Some would say that the best examples are blended with old brandy, however even clear versions can make stunning standalone drinks. Between the different brands, there are differences in the types of oranges used, the combination of oranges and the type of alcohol base employed. With the exception of the cognac-infused Grand Marnier, they're (arguably) interchangeable in cocktails, including classics like the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, Sidecar, Long Island Iced Tea and White Lady where they bring a sweet and complex citrus flavour to balance the other ingredients. In the end, it’s all about your personal preference as to which brand you choose and how you intend to use it. One rule holds steady - don't buy cheap. There are many sub standard Curaçaos and Triple Secs that do the category a disservice. Here’s our pick of the best at Nick's import prices.
