Orange Liqueur | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750mL

Process & Profile

Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaao Orange Liqueur is crafted in France using a traditional 19th-century-style recipe that emphasizes balance, depth, and natural citrus character. Made with bitter Curaao orange peels sourced from the Caribbean, the peels are sun-dried, macerated, and distilled to extract intense aromatic oils. The distillate is then blended with cognac and lightly sweetened to achieve a dry, structured profile rather than a syrupy style. The result is a refined orange liqueur designed for classic cocktails, offering complexity, brightness, and a subtle brandy backbone.
