A symbol of precise, sumptuous liqueur craftsmanship, the Marie Brizard - Curacao Orange - 30% offers an elegant interpretation of orange, aimed at palates seeking subtlety. The citrus is given depth by a delicate interplay of gentle bitterness and a caressing sweetness. Both cocktail lovers who focus on well-crafted drinks and epicureans who enjoy neat tasting will find a consistent, inspiring aromatic signature. In a world where every detail counts, this orange liqueur stands as a bridge between technical rigour and poetic expression of flavour, bringing a bright, precise yet charming presence to your creations.

Blend and vinification

Made from a carefully balanced blend of Haitian bitter oranges and sweet orange peels from southern Spain, this Curacao Orange is born from meticulous distillations that capture the essence of the fruit. The orange spirits are then complemented with extracts of aromatic plants to shape the balance between freshness and complexity. The blend is rounded with a measured addition of cognac and rum, two signatures that wrap the base, adding depth, creaminess and length. Water, sugar and cane sugar caramel complete the composition, creating a harmony where roundness never dulls the brightness. This approach, both classic and highly controlled, guarantees a consistent taste identity, a cornerstone for reliable and creative mixology.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: clear with dark brown to orange highlights, bright and inviting.
• Nose: a frank bouquet of ripe orange, lifted by fine spices and delicate floral hints.
• Palate: smooth, velvety entry; generous orange heart caressed by orange blossom; refreshing, lingering finish.

Serving temperature and tips

This liqueur expresses itself best well chilled or over ice, served in a short glass that highlights its texture. It lends itself wonderfully to mixology, especially with rum or brandy bases, and produces cocktails with great aromatic clarity. For increased intensity, favour large ice cubes and fresh citrus garnishes. Its consistency makes it a staple for cocktail bars as well as discerning home bartenders who want to elevate their home bar without multiplying references.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs: over ice with an orange twist, or topped with sparkling water for a delicately bitter opener.
• Starters: citrus and fennel salad, ceviche subtly accented with candied orange peel.
• Main courses: duck à l'orange, flambéed prawns, citrus glaze on roasted poultry.
• Cheeses: pairs with fresh cheeses such as ricotta or goat cheese, brightened with a drizzle of orange and fine herbs.
