What Does Triple Sec Taste Like?

Simply put, it tastes like oranges. It somewhat resembles the taste of Orange Crush or even an orange-flavored Vodka. Triple Secis a fruity, aromatic liqueur that adds a refreshing, citrus zing to any co*cktail it's mixed in.

Do All Types of Triple Sec Taste The Same?

Even though all brands of Triple Sec stand to serve the same purpose in a co*cktail, not all brands taste the same. For instance: a high-quality brand will have a subtle sweetness with more alcohol content, while a low-quality brand will be a lot sweeter with less alcohol content.

Various Triple Sec Brands:

  • Cointreau
  • Dekuyper
  • Marquette
  • Grand Marnier
  • Drillaud
  • Combier

LONG ISLAND ICED TEA

Because there are so many different types of liquor in this co*cktail, Long Islands pack a serious punch and leave you feeling great after only one!

Sophisticated, delicious, and pretty! The Grand duch*ess co*cktail really lives up to the name. The refreshingly sweet, citrus flavors of Triple Sec and orange juice with the bitterness of cranberries and vodka blend excellently to create this elegant co*cktail.

So, you've probably heard of the Mimosa... but have you heard of a Beermosa?! The different spirits mixed here come together to give you the best of both worlds in this savory co*cktail. These are great for brunch, tailgating, and boys' night out. Even with all of the citrus notes in this drink, it still holds the robust flavor of a good beer! Similar to Bloody Mary garnishes, this co*cktail should be dressed with a snack on the side.

GRAPEFRUIT CRUSH

Ingredients:

  • Grapefruit Juice

If you are a grapefruit lover, this one is for you. Good doesn't even begin to describe this co*cktail! It is full of zest while the Thyme Simple Syrup creates a subtle, herbal flavor. I would suggest using fresh-squeezed juice for the most authentic taste, but store-bought works well to make the mixing process quick and easy.

BLUEBERRY GIN co*ckTAIL

Ingredients:

  • Blueberry Simple Syrup
  • Gin
  • Triple Sec
  • Lemon Juice
  • Club Soda
  • Blueberries

If you prefer a subtle alcohol taste in your co*cktails, you'll really enjoy this drink since the alcohol is overpowered by its fruity flavor. If your co*cktail isn't strong enough, just add another shot of gin - play around and find what you like the best. This drink is so crisp and fizzy but tastes like a fruity, blueberry lemonade.

Change it up a bit and try my Homemade Blackberry Simple Syrup in place of the blueberry simple syrup with fresh blackberries for garnish! I bet it's equally divine!
