Comment from : @peronotec7445

Darn I was hoping Senior & Co would be a decent brand lol In Shannon Mustipher's tiki book, she "prefers" Senior & Co blue curacao for one of her cocktails I did purchase the Tamarind liqueur from Senior & Co and I think it's not bad
Comment from : @polishprince7219

Apologies Leandro but I’m gonna have to disagree with you on the Senior I find the stuff superb and perfect for a dash of color and flavor to any blue drinkbrbrI drink their blue Curacao which does the job better than any of the other ones I’ve thus far tasted Since most blue drinks only see it sprinkled over the top, I feel like it’s more subtle flavoring allows it to truly shine in that role, similar to a splash of Laphroaig 10 on a penicillin, rather than getting lost in the shuffle of other strong ingredients

At 9:07 "They're not good" brbrI attended a college with a chemistry professor that would arrive in his private helicopter At the end of each semester he would do a liquor tasting class The one thing I remember is that he said that fancy bottles equal cheap liquor because the fancy bottle is what you paid fornot the quality of the liquor Funny how the only two "fancy" bottles are the ones that you say are not any good Igor Mal-tay-o-vitch (spelling?) was right !!!

"And you don't have access to an ingredient" *closeup of dry curacao" Yep Have to order it online or drive 50 miles

Coming from Curaçao, we had larahá in our garden I used to like trying to eat one, it was like a challenge

I was told that Cointreau's founder was a former Combier employee But the two brands still get quite along

How long are these good for after being opened?
Comment from : @slipnin2darkness121

Your videos are awesome!! I’m a lover of all Tiki and I love that you’re into tiki drinks I’m obsessed with the Ancient Mariner and your video on it is awesome Thanks for all you do!! brbrI was introduced to you from your appearance on Spikes Breezeway! Keep up the great work
Comment from : @benandrovich112

I have tried combining Grand Marnier and Clément Créole Shrubb 50/50 and it's terrific They broaden the flavor and it's delicious
Comment from : @lrvogt1257

I recently was comparing 1 Gran Mariner, 2 Cointreau , and 3 Clément and I perceived them as going from darker to lighter 123 Which works best depends on what its mixed with My Mai Tai with Appleton 12 and Pusser’s gunpowder proof was best with Clement and the Mai Tai using Plantation Original Dark was best with Cointreau Another cocktail site suggested Grand Mariner and Clément 50/50 and it is an outstanding mix but I haven’t used it in Cocktail yet br I bought a basic triple sec ( I think it was DeKuyper but not certain) first time around and it tasted like chemicals br Cara Devine from Behind the Bar likes Marionette, which I believe is an Australian brand br Oddly, I like the taste or Pierre Ferrand neat but less so in a Cocktail and something about it my wife really dislikes
Comment from : @lrvogt1257

Great video and overview Thank you We have begun using Grand Gala as a replacement for Grand Marnier (Gala is a lot cheaper) in our margaritas and other drinks, so we hope you will include this one in an update to this topic of orange liquors God Bless, Brother
Comment from : @fasteddie4107

I don't know how often someone looks in these comments or answers questions in them, but, if I can't get triple sec or a curacao, can I use schnapps in their place?
Comment from : @jasonwalk4257

Wouldn’t sugar beet alcohol just be a kind of rum?

My local store has a “Mr Boston Triple Sec” It’s only 15 abv 🤔

Have you tried Paula's Texas Orange, (or Lemon or Grapefruit,) Liqueur?
Comment from : @tommccafferty5591

The way I approach dryness (in reference to the Cointreau thing) is sweetness is a taste, dryness is something you feel It tastes sweet yet feels dry Just how I approach it
Comment from : @BartendingAndBaseball

do you think i can get similar results to Grand Marnier by taking good brandy/cognac and adding high quality Orange extract?
Comment from : @netanelizhakov7592

Hey there, I just got back from Curaçao and toured the Senior and Company Distillery They market 7 brands of Curaçao liquor By their own admission 5 of their brands taste the same but coloured with food dye for marketing purposes That said, their Tamarind flavoured Curaçao is the one to get your hands on It’s flavour profile is unique I bright back 2 bottles The Laharah orange is not native to the Island it was brought in from Spain as a Seville orange, and because of the volcanic soil profile in Curaçao, it morphed into the Laharah orange They only use the peels to make their liquors The actual fruit is not edible They have a website that elaborates on their history and process Their bottles are made in Spain, and they source their dorks from Portugal The distillery bottles everything by had and has about a dozen employees The Still they use is from the late 1890’s and for every 1400 litres of alcohol they add 800 pounds of sugar They distill to 31 percent proof
Comment from : @constantinedimopoulos1110

Great video, explained well and very informative Thank you
Comment from : @jefflecompte2564

Terrific video, but is there a reason you didn’t do tasting notes for the Pierre Ferrand?
Comment from : @craigpatchett3508

We had quite the shortage of any sort of orange liqueurs at one point during the height of COVID I ended up just making my own sort of version of such I just infused a brandy with cloves and orange peels, made a syrup with the same ingredients and combined at a 3:1 ratio Tastes lovely!
Comment from : @mattgoldsworthy6453

Little UNFAIR to feature “Senior” triple sec, and yet, not TASTE it, like the REST of ‘em? 🤔

Orange liquor! Yum!😚
Comment from : @lisaspikes4291

Hi, did you already had a response from maison Ferrand ? I live about 200 miles from them, if you want I can give them a call? brBtw super channel man! You are giving me great ideas and tips thru this, like maybe one day to visit this maison Ferrand and visiting the Harry's new York bar in Paris (any tips what to order over there), legendary things 😎 muchos gracias 🙏brBtw I had a discussion with a friend who finds the day of today a good aviation needs half a ounce simple syrup, because our taste has going to waste the last 100 years (when the recipe was first written) and is more used to sugary things today brI would like to hear your opinion
Comment from : @afternoonview

I’m curious as to why you didn’t feature Bols Orange Curaçao? Does it fall into the same pit as Senior and Co, or were not able to obtain it for the video I’m genuinely curious since I have been using Bols for awhile now
Comment from : @ChristopherDennis89

You're missing Bauchant, which is imo the best orange liqueur
Comment from : @christiantanso7679

Torres Gran Torres Orange Liqueur -- the best ever

Does a "cadillac" margarita have to have grand marnier?

Excellent video I love Royal Combier but it is very hard to find in my area :^(
Comment from : @XanoviaScents

I can also recommend Mandarine Napoléon, but Grand Marnier is my favorite 😄👍🏻
Comment from : @TheMarlon59

WHAT!!--no blue curaçao?
Comment from : @namelessone3339

I've tried a bunch of these and similar bottles and always end up going back to Cointreau in the end
Comment from : @nihlify

What is this Le Orange you keep saying?! The word on the bottle is L'Original take away the L and you have the word Original L'Original like L'Oreal Its just called Combier
Comment from : @drew609

What is blue curaçao? I was told it’s orange flavor but colored blue to make blue drinks, like the blue whale?
Comment from : @trailguy

Is the blue curaçao the same as this Dry Curaçao? or is there a difference?
Comment from : @eliasconejo2040

you don't sub it out you order it on-line
Comment from : @pdmark311

it's funny that most of the orange liquor are form France, but you never speak about the PICON who is an orange bitter but it's for flavoring(cheap) beer, the orange are from Morocco and it's sweet in the same time(it's quite famous in the north of France in Belgium and Switzerland too) And there is also the APEROL (for the Aperol Spritz of course)who is also a orange bitter but from Italia I really would like to know the big difference of how it's made ,the taste and how you can use it in cocktail Anyway it was a great and instructive video for any cocktail lover from all over the world ;)
Comment from : @OLskull666

This has been very informative & interesting & my go-to orange liqueur is always Grand Marnier My idea of decadence I've tried most of the other ones, but I always come back to the best Thanks so much for this video!
Comment from : @catmom1322

I think it is worth noting that chemically there is zero difference between sugar made from sugar beets and from sugar cane Both are sucrose, and when purified into white granulated sugar, they are indistinguishable So to say that Cointreau is made from orange peels macerated in alcohol made from sugar beets implies there is a necessary difference between that and sugar cane alcohol simply based on the source of the sugar Of course, alcohol can be and often is made from raw sugar cane syrup with molasses still in it, and that is altogether different
Comment from : @henrytberry

I loooooove Pierre Ferrand dry curaçao
Comment from : @Matatabi6

Thank you…😊
Comment from : @suzannebrown945

How about Licor 43?
Comment from : @davidcattin7006

Although, I cannot speak to wether or not Senior is the ONLY brand that uses the Lahara Orange (one should always be weary of claims that spirit brands make); they are the only one actually here on the island I might be a bit biased, but the clear one is actually a pretty decent liqueur…in my not-so-humble opinion (Besides my admittedly patriotic bias, I have worked as a bartender, trainer, consultant and “mixologist” all around the world and for about 20 years…🤷🏾)
Comment from : @Chioke1980

Why do you post an advert for American beef on a YouTube video that goes out to hundreds of countries WORLDWIDE that cannot order American beef? It seems that you think you are only speaking to Americans, when they only consist of a small percentage of a YouTube audience Also why post an advert for American beef on a video dedicated to orange liqueurs?
Comment from : @alangeorgebarstow

Great video but that pronunciation of Clément hit me like a sledgehammer 😅
Comment from : @sunyboy333

You left out Napoleon Mandarin
Comment from : @nickinak341

Have you ever tried the Cointreau Blood Orange?brBe interesting to know how it holds up as a substitute for the original
Comment from : @foxronyo

Great video Si ce you touched on the sweet/dry thing, please weigh in on something for me In a recent comment thread on a social media group, I noted that Cointreau is a bit sweeter than PF Dry Curacao I got "corrected," and informed that the opposite is true in spite of the word "dry" in the PF name This is definitely not true on my palate I've done a/b taste testing, and Cointreau is absolutely the sweeter of the two to me Am I alone in this? What say you all?
Comment from : @rickdubois3569

okay, youve got the sub, this is the information i want

Comment from : @trevorhatfield5826

Patron makes an excellent orange liqueur called Citronge Great for margs or on its own neat or on the rocks
Comment from : @dannybarichello1575

My favorite orange liquor is Tuaca It is an orange- vanilla liquor with brandy
Comment from : @johnwanamaker84

Could Amaro Angeleno work as a sub?
Comment from : @fredpasquarella5411

I think one bottle is missing from this lineup, and that's Luxardo's Triplum It's a great tasting bottle that is competitive with Cointreau in my experience
Comment from : @nicholasgraves3149

Amazing! Thanks so much Would love this kind of video on Absinthe/Pastis Or on some of the staple European Amaros (averna, ramazzoti, nonino, etc) There's so bloody many of them, and some of them can be hard to find if you don't have a cocktail focused liquor store near you Knowing which ones sub we'll, and which ones are "irreplaceable" (a least in some essential cocktails) would be amazing
Comment from : @segamble1679

can i order JUST bacon?bri really like bacon
Comment from : @pontificusvascillious5287

I think Grand marnier tastes a little mediciny Makes it difficult as a mixer for me
Comment from : @rimmersbryggeri

What is “blue curaçao “ vs Orange curaçao?
Comment from : @BoardroomBuddha

You talk too fast
Comment from : @indiosveritas

Curaçao: "they are not good" LOL Sir, you don't know anything about orange liqueur Since the colonization of the Caribbean island, and the development of the recipe in 1896, curaçao liqueur is "the original liqueur" Why do you suppose the drinks bear the name curacao? oh God
Comment from : @user-en9fs2mh9y

Youtube closed captions think your channel is called the educated barf live Can we get some barf content?
Comment from : @connorsanchez9585

Would you be able to swap dry curacao with cointrau in a white negroni?
Comment from : @chrbreum99

Thank you I needed this video so much
Comment from : @PugnaxLupus

2 other orange liquors which are my personal favorites: For a clean orange flavour, the Giffard triple sec For something more complex, the Santa Teresa Rhum Orange Liqueur
Comment from : @GayUberGeek

Great video, Leandro and Marius! I am a big fan of PF Dry Curacao as well
Comment from : @CocktailsUnderQuarantine

What makes blue curacao different? Or is it just blue dye?
Comment from : @Zackattackback

What is your take on Luxardo Triple sec? I find its not that cheap junk but its also not quite Cointreau To me its close and it is half the price, however, I have avoided a lot of Cointreau cocktails mainly because Cointreau is expensive
Comment from : @sensusdivinitas827

thank you for explaining this I was wondering and it was never very clear This video was very educational Thanks and cheers

Comment from : @robertadcox8419

You talk about Bols but don't taste itbr??????
Comment from : @christophervandenberg4830

My go-to right now is Bauchant Cognac based and with 3 types of oranges
Comment from : @romanpaladino

There's another interesting orange liqueur: the tequila-based Patron Citronge, with the flavour of oranges and the herbaceous notes of the blue agave Quite unusual, at least for the European taste, but definitely worth a try
Comment from : @larispostae42

Tried most of triple secs But I always needed mor "orange" in it Decided to make my own Made a pills mixer of Spanish oranges and blood ones Dried them in a fast dryer And distiled grappa with those pills in it Made it less sweet as most of brands And I wonna say, its fantastic! as for me, of course)
