Amsterdam liqueur house's blue curaçao: bitter orange peel macerate in neutral spirit, bottled at 21% ABV.
Wenneker's blue curaçao originates from Amsterdam, where the Dutch liqueur producer has maintained production since 1761. The expression begins with dried bitter orange peel from Curaçao, macerated in neutral grain spirit to extract essential oils and bitter compounds.
The base spirit is then bottled at 21% ABV with added colorant to achieve its signature bright blue hue—a visual marker that has made this expression a standard reference point in tropical and tiki cocktail culture. The bitterness derives entirely from orange peel phenolics rather than added bittering agents, creating a dry, citrus-forward profile beneath the sweetened liqueur structure.
Wenneker's formulation prioritizes the orange character over confectionery notes, making it distinct from sweeter competitors. Best served at cellar temperature in mixed drinks where its bitter-orange foundation can anchor spirit-forward compositions.
Sommelier’s pick: Thai mango sticky rice with lime zest and toasted coconut · Grilled fish with bitter orange gastrique and charred citrus · Dark chocolate torte with candied orange peel garnish
