.75 shot de kuyper triple sec

De Kuyper Triple Sec is a Dutch orange-flavored liqueur produced by the De Kuyper distillery, founded in 1695. Triple sec refers to a category of clear, colorless liqueurs made by distilling spirits with dried orange peels, typically from bitter oranges (Seville oranges) or sweet oranges. The name "triple sec" derives from the French tradition of triple distillation and the dry (sec) sugar content relative to other orange liqueurs. De Kuyper's version is characterized by a bright, citrus-forward flavor profile with notes of sweet and bitter orange peel, vanilla, and subtle spice, with an alcohol content typically around 40% ABV (80 proof).

Triple sec serves as a versatile cocktail ingredient and cooking component across global bartending traditions. It is a foundational ingredient in classic cocktails such as the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, Sidecar, and Long Island Iced Tea, where it provides citrus sweetness and alcohol structure. In the kitchen, it is used to deglaze pans, enhance desserts such as crème brûlée and chocolate mousse, and flavor fruit compotes and glazes. The liqueur pairs well with lime, lemon, and other citrus fruits, and complements chocolate, vanilla, and spiced ingredients. Dosage in recipes typically ranges from 0.5 to 2 ounces per drink or dish.
