On this episode of Chaser, I I’m tackling Orange Liqueurs. What is Curaçao? What is Triple Sec? Grand Marnier? Cointreau? I dive a little into the history of them, and then do some side by side taste testing of a few key bottles to find out. Most of the tools and gear I use on the show can be found on my gear page at: https://www.thisishowtodrink.com/gear

I’ve tried them em all, from the most expensive to the bottom shelve stuff and dekuyper 03 is the oj liqueur that I keep going back to – and it’s only 1/4th the price of the high end stuff. It
s got the most intense and complex orange flavor I’ve experience from alcohol.
I love this! Please keep doing these!
where are the rumsssss??
*boats* ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I’m surprised you didn’t have a mention for Blue Curaçao, not because it tastes different from the other products but simply because it is used in cocktails so often to give colour as well as an orange flavour but so few people seam to know what it is.
Nice video, grand marnier rouge and pierre ferrand are more similar than cointreau is because the base of them is brandy while the base of cointreau is neutral alcohol. I think thats why cointreau does not taste that complex
‘The better ingredients you use, the better the cocktail’s gonna be’
Except for the white russian. Did him dirty^^
Jesus, please go and pick yourself up a microphone! Love the show, but the audio makes me want to jump off a bridge.
Keep doing these!!!! I learn so much
The closed captioning thinks you’re saying “cripple sex” every time you say triple sec and I ain’t complaining
I use Grand Marnier in making fruit compotes. It is excellent with blackberry and raspberry.
So what exactly is the difference between Curacao, Triple Sec and Cointreau? Are they the same, or am I able to substitute the one through the others?
Sooooo… Is the “spirit guide” bit supposed to make light of Native American culture?
drank a lot of cointreau on the rocks in france. i love beer and their selection was, well, less than ideal :p
So what’s the difference between regular Curacao and Blue Curacao???
Have you (or just anyone) tried the AURUM ? It’s amazing
“Ahrange”
“triple secs” (sex) ha. Giggity.
Great video! And great information!
thank you about information!
Would like an episode about grappa/palinka/slibovic or different fruit based spirits. Liked the episode very much. Maybe some examples of cocktails which use or showcase these spirits would be nice at the end. Thx
Liquor and Liqueur
Liquors are not sweetened, but Liqueurs are.
in france grand marnier is famously known for souflé wich is a dessert and served also for brandy for grand dad. triple sec is coming from one brand called marie brizard and done with orange dry peel (bitter)and zest.(sweet) andthe maceration is then triply distelled. caracao is a cognac flavored with dry orange.
Mandarine Napoleon. If you get a chance try it some day. Or limoncello.
Awesome series! Definitely need more:)
Many moons ago some friends and I would shoot Grand Ma and order a second to dip cigars into, while sipping scotch and bourbon!
I ‘m so hungover Greg
I love this idea! Love heating about the history. And the comparative taste testing is so helpful!
I am a North Korean and watched this video very enjoyably.
