INGREDIENTSTRIPLE SECLiquid

Triple Sec

Liquid · Global

A crystalline expression of sun-ripened peel, this liqueur carries the ephemeral perfume of orange blossoms across a canvas of high sweetness. Like a polished mirror reflecting the orchard, the flavor balances delicate floral aromatics with the bright, sharp edge of citrus, yielding a finish that is both clean and resonant.
