Curacao is a liqueur made from the dried peels of the Laraha citrus fruit, native to the island of Curaçao. It comes in various colors, including blue, orange, and clear, but the flavor remains citrusy and sweet with a hint of bitterness. In the context of alcohol and cocktails, Curacao adds a bright citrus flavor and vibrant color, making it a popular choice for tropical and fruity drinks. It pairs well with spirits like rum, vodka, and tequila and is a key ingredient in cocktails such as the Blue Lagoon, Mai Tai, and Margarita. Curacao's distinctive flavor and color make it a versatile and essential component in many classic and contemporary cocktails.
