Curacao is an exquisite and very specific club liqueur, which is an auxiliary element for creating a variety of. You cannot drink curaçao in its pure form, because it contains a large amount of food coloring, which stains the entire oral cavity, including the teeth, keeping the color of the drink on them for up to several days. In addition, the liqueur has a too cloying sweet taste, and the strength is approximately 24-.

Most often, fruit, ice cream, and other desserts are served with liqueur. In addition, curacao can be combined with coffee or tea.

Curaçao comes in three colors: bright (the most popular because of its ability to glow in neon lights), bright red, almost bloody, and rich green. Yellow and clear curaçao are not popular; it is difficult to judge the reasons, but most likely this is due to chemical flavoring additives that give the liqueur a citrus smell and taste.

Making cocktails with curacao

One of the most popular cocktails with blue curacao is the Blue Hawaii cocktail. To 30 grams of liqueur add pineapple juice - at least 100 grams, a small amount of rum and coconut milk or cream liqueur. A significant amount of ice in the mold or several large cubes of water is appropriate.

The Bikini Teen cocktail is also famous. It includes Blue Curacao syrup, pineapple juice, Passion syrup and mix. Mix 50 grams of vodka and 30-40 grams of curacao, bring the resulting volume to 200 grams with pineapple juice. Passion and sour mix are added to the cocktail, already poured into glasses, creating sometimes bizarre designs on top of the cocktail liquid. This drink is served in a cocktail glass and garnished with mint leaves and a cherry.

“Tini Bikini” has a delightful bluish-green hue, which skillful bartenders highlight with bar counter lamps.

Quite often you can find the Tsunami cocktail. It consists of 30 grams of cold tequila, 20 grams of Blue Curacao syrup, 10 grams of lemon juice, 10-15 grams of sugar syrup, and a few drops of red tabasco. Typically, all ingredients except sugar syrup are mixed using a shaker, and thick sugar syrup is added to the glass as a top layer. You need to drink the cocktail in one gulp, but the consequences speak for themselves.

The Raquel cocktail is a very unusual cocktail with chocolate flavor. It contains: Blue Curacao syrup, vodka, a rather rare violet liqueur, chocolate liqueur, heavy cream and ice. It is curious that there are no exact dosages of ingredients; it all depends on the imagination and skill of the bartender. Serve the cocktail in a chilled cocktail glass garnished with cocoa powder. It is considered an expensive drink, intended for young ladies.

The Lady Chatterley cocktail is relatively new to the Russian club public. The drink contains Curacao liqueur, 150 grams of gin, 50 grams of dry vermouth and 50 grams of orange juice.

The world-famous Blue Curacao liqueur is an aromatic drink of an unusual blue color with a rich orange flavor. In almost any bar in the world you can find cocktails prepared on its basis.

The history of the creation of “blue liqueur”

The liqueur was named “in honor” of the island of the same name, Curacao, located among the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela. To this day, the island is home to world-famous orange plantations, where a special variety of oranges that have a bitter taste are grown. This variety is called Aurantium Currassuviensis.

Back in the 18th century, several orange plantations were acquired by the De Capeira family, which at that time ran a company producing alcoholic beverages. The head of the family, inspired by the extraordinary aroma of bitter orange, tried to make an orange liqueur and received a “semi-finished product” of the drink, which is now known as Curacao liqueur.

To distinguish their creation from other similar orange-flavored drinks, the liqueur, which was originally clear, was changed in color and given a slightly different taste with the help of spices. There are now green, white and orange versions of the liqueur, but Blue Curacao is the most popular.

What does Blue Curacao liqueur consist of and what causes its unusual color?

The famous blue liqueur is made from infusing it with the dried peels of bitter oranges mixed with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. The original strength of the drink is 30%, but now there are also 20% variations.

Real Blue Curacao has a characteristic blue color due to a natural dye - anthocyanin. This is a blue-violet hood. The most anthocyanins are found in black grapes, eggplants, cauliflower, blueberries, basil, and violets. These plants are extracted in a special way and added to liqueur.

Although, of course, the exact name of the plant, thanks to which Blue Curacao liqueur is blue, is kept secret. Chemists believe that, most likely, not one, but a whole combination of plants with the most suitable color is used to give the liqueur a blue color.

There are those who keep the secrets of making blue liqueur with the addition of indigo, a rare mineral that was dissolved in vitriol to obtain the desired deep blue color. But now this method is not used.

Other Blue Curacao manufacturers use simpler and more affordable methods: they use artificial food colors E 131, E 132 (Proprietary Blue) and E133 (Brilliant Blue FCF).

Each famous alcoholic drink has its own twist, thanks to which it gained popularity and fell in love with the people. Some drinks have great taste, others have a rich history, and others have an original appearance. Blue Curacao liqueur has become so popular thanks to its original rich blue color, and of course its pleasant orange taste.

Bartenders all over the world prepare everyone's favorite cocktails and come up with new recipes by adding Blue Curacao liqueur - thanks to this the cocktails look very beautiful. The drink comes from the island of Curacao - this is where bitter oranges grow, which give the drink a citrusy taste. Thanks to natural dyes, the liqueur acquires such a beautiful color.

Detailed information about the Blue Curacao drink, recipes for making this drink yourself, as well as recipes for cocktails to which liqueur is added, can be found in this article.

Historical reference

The drink was born on the island of Curacao, located in the southern Caribbean Sea near Venezuela. The island appeared on the geographical map of the world in the 14th century thanks to the machinations of Spanish sailors.

Soon the area was populated by settlers from Spain, who brought with them and planted the entire island with Valencian orange seedlings, famous for their extraordinary sweetness and bright orange color.

According to the calculations of planters and traders, fruits should have brought them unprecedented profits. But everything went wrong. There was very little fresh water on the island. There was barely enough for drinking, let alone watering the trees.

• Without receiving the required amount of moisture, the oranges became small and disgustingly bitter.
• The plantations began to go bankrupt one after another, and the inhabitants began to slowly leave the inhospitable island, which soon became completely deserted.
• But in the 16th century, having become a possession of the Netherlands, it was repopulated by the inhabitants of this country.
• The hardworking Dutch breathed life into abandoned farms and gave oranges a new name - “laraha”.
• And in the 19th century, an amazing discovery was made that the zest of the larahi fruit contains various oils, and oranges were immediately used by starting to be added to alcoholic drinks.

Blue Curacao liqueur appeared in the late 1920s. It was and is still being produced in the Czech Republic, France, and the Netherlands, but the leader is still the De Kuyper company, which has been on the market for more than 300 years. In addition to blue, they also produce green, red, white and orange Curacao, which are no less popular.

The mystery of blue

Over its 200-year history, the liqueur has undergone some changes. Additions were made to the original recipe.

Initially, the drink was made from white rum, which made it transparent and its strength did not exceed 20%.

1. To distinguish Curacao from competitive products, manufacturers came up with a new advertising feature, coloring the liquor in an unusual bluish-blue color and adding the prefix “Blue” to it.
2. For this purpose, a special food coloring E133 was used - absolutely harmless and safe.
3. The PR move did not go unnoticed; Blue Curacao was immediately noticed and elevated to the ranks of recognized alcoholic beverages.

The original color of the liqueur became the basis for creating a variety of cocktails, the most famous of which are “Blue Lagoon”, “Burning Ferrari”, “Tsunami”, “Blue Margarita”, etc.

Drinking the drink neat or with ice is not recommended - it can turn your mouth, tongue and teeth bright blue. And the cloying sweetness of Blue Curacao will quickly make you change your mind and mix it with something stronger.

Composition and preparation

All Curacao liqueurs, no matter what color they are, have exactly the same composition:

• dried bitter orange zest;
• grape alcohol;
• spices: nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon;
• sugar;
• water.

The liqueur is prepared in several stages.

1. Infuse orange peel and spices with alcohol.
2. Distill the resulting tincture through a cube.
3. Add sugar and water (the strength of the original drink is 30 degrees).

The resulting base is tinted in different colors. In the case of the blue variation, a dye is used that the manufacturers (Bols or DeKuyper) call natural.

Officially, an extract of a certain exotic flower from the same island of Curacao is added to the liqueur, where the drink itself is produced. It is said that the pomace acquires a bright blue color after it enters an alkaline environment.

Such stories do not inspire much confidence. Most likely, one of the copper sulfate products is used, purified and suitable for internal consumption. The blue variety of liqueur has too pure a color.

In addition to the alcoholic blue drink, non-alcoholic Blue Curacao syrup is also popular. To prepare this product, orange peels are boiled in sugar syrup with spices, and then coloring is added. The syrup is an excellent base for non-alcoholic lemonades and children's cocktails.

Varieties of Blue Curacao

Many people are interested in what gives Blue Curacao its rich blue color? The first liqueurs of this variety were absolutely clear, since white rum was used for their production.

There are no secret alchemical ingredients in this drink that give such an unusual cornflower blue color as one would like to think. This is just a PR stunt; De Kuyper marketers decided that the bright shade would arouse interest among consumers, and with it an increase in sales. Therefore, during the production of Blue Curacao, a natural dye was added, which, when released into an alkaline environment, gives the drink a blue color.

Other manufacturers, having decided to copy the De Kuyper trick, did not bother too much and used well-known food dyes for coloring:

• E133 is the safest food coloring available. It is capable of imparting a brilliant blue color to drinks and other edibles.
• Dyes E133 and E132 are also widely used in food production, but they are not considered harmless.

Today you can find not only blue Curacao on sale. The coloring idea turned out to be successful, and bartenders were able to create various beautiful colored cocktails from this liqueur. Therefore, green, white, orange and blue Curacao are now available in stores.

Curacao liqueurs can delight not only with unusual and bright colors. This alcoholic drink is a digestif, which means it improves digestion. Therefore, it is recommended to consume it after meals.

Price

Something else worth noting is the cost of Curacao. The liqueur, the price of which is not shocking (and this is another plus), costs about 1,200 rubles per 700 ml. When purchasing, it is more profitable to take the maximum volume. Since 500 ml, for example, will cost 1000 rubles. It's not much cheaper, and the difference in the amount of alcohol is decent.

Today, many countries produce this liqueur. However, if possible, it is worth buying the original. Because some manufacturers cheat and add peels of regular oranges rather than bitter ones. This makes the taste completely different from what it should be. It's worth remembering this.

Making Blue Curacao at home

To color the liqueur, which in this case is the key point that distinguishes this drink from many other similar ones, you can use food coloring from a candy store or try some natural ingredients.

1. So, to color drinks blue, you can use the fairly common blue cornflower petals, which are often used to tint absinthe (when mixed with saffron they give a green color, which was already useful to us when preparing green Chartreuse).
2. Another bright and 100% natural ingredient that few people still know about is Clitoria trifoliate petals, also known as Thai blue tea or anchan. It is easy to find in tea shops, it gives a rich color, but has practically no taste.

The only thing is that all natural dyes are short-lived and quickly fade in sunlight, so it is advisable to store liqueur in a dark container or in a dark place.

Classic recipe

Ingredients:

• Sugar syrup - 3 cups
• Nutmeg - 30 gr
• Vodka - 1 liter
• Orange peels (dried) - 50 g
• Cinnamon - 1 g
• Food coloring - optional
• Cloves - 3 buds

Preparation

Blue Curacao liqueur contains blue or cyan food coloring, which is what gives the drink such a pleasant hue. However, you can make homemade liqueur in a different color, optionally green, orange or leave it white.

Making this drink at home is very simple - the most important thing is to have all the necessary ingredients on hand. To do this, you don’t have to go to the Caribbean islands - just go to the nearest store.

1.Pour dried orange peels into a glass jar. If you don't have ready-made peels, take one ripe orange, wash it and carefully cut off the peel. The crusts can be dried in the oven for several hours, in a special dryer, or left in a dry, warm place for several days.

2. Add spices to the crusts: nutmeg, several cloves and cinnamon. Pour vodka over this mixture and immediately close the jar with a lid.

Curacao liqueur can be prepared at home in about one week - place the jar with the ingredients in a warm place and shake it periodically.

3. When the drink is infused, it will need to be strained through several layers of gauze or a fine plastic strainer and poured into bottles or a decanter.

4. Before making Blue Curacao liqueur, do not forget to prepare the dye. If you don't have it on hand, your liqueur will be a normal white color with a slight orange tint. The coloring can be added to a ready-made drink, so you can color it in the most amazing colors right before serving.

If you prefer natural ingredients, you can use fruit or vegetable juices as dyes.

Green color comes from spinach juice, red comes from cherries and beets. Carrot juice will give your liqueur an orange color.

Each famous alcoholic drink has its own twist, thanks to which it gained popularity and fell in love with the people. Some drinks have great taste, others have a rich history, and others have an original appearance. Blue Curacao liqueur has become so popular thanks to its original rich blue color, and of course its pleasant orange taste.

Bartenders all over the world prepare everyone's favorite cocktails and come up with new recipes by adding Blue Curacao liqueur - thanks to this the cocktails look very beautiful. The drink comes from the island of Curacao - this is where bitter oranges grow, which give the drink a citrusy taste. Thanks to natural dyes, the liqueur acquires such a beautiful color.

Detailed information about the Blue Curacao drink, recipes for making this drink yourself, as well as recipes for cocktails to which liqueur is added, can be found in this article.

Historical reference

The drink was born on the island of Curacao, located in the southern Caribbean Sea near Venezuela. The island appeared on the geographical map of the world in the 14th century thanks to the machinations of Spanish sailors.

Soon the area was populated by settlers from Spain, who brought with them and planted the entire island with Valencian orange seedlings, famous for their extraordinary sweetness and bright orange color.

According to the calculations of planters and traders, fruits should have brought them unprecedented profits. But everything went wrong. There was very little fresh water on the island. There was barely enough for drinking, let alone watering the trees.

• Without receiving the required amount of moisture, the oranges became small and disgustingly bitter.
• The plantations began to go bankrupt one after another, and the inhabitants began to slowly leave the inhospitable island, which soon became completely deserted.
• But in the 16th century, having become a possession of the Netherlands, it was repopulated by the inhabitants of this country.
• The hardworking Dutch breathed life into abandoned farms and gave oranges a new name - “laraha”.
• And in the 19th century, an amazing discovery was made that the zest of the larahi fruit contains various oils, and oranges were immediately used by starting to be added to alcoholic drinks.

Blue Curacao liqueur appeared in the late 1920s. It was and is still being produced in the Czech Republic, France, and the Netherlands, but the leader is still the De Kuyper company, which has been on the market for more than 300 years. In addition to blue, they also produce green, red, white and orange Curacao, which are no less popular.

The mystery of blue

Over its 200-year history, the liqueur has undergone some changes. Additions were made to the original recipe.

Initially, the drink was made from white rum, which made it transparent and its strength did not exceed 20%.

1. To distinguish Curacao from competitive products, manufacturers came up with a new advertising feature, coloring the liquor in an unusual bluish-blue color and adding the prefix “Blue” to it.
2. For this purpose, a special food coloring E133 was used - absolutely harmless and safe.
3. The PR move did not go unnoticed; Blue Curacao was immediately noticed and elevated to the ranks of recognized alcoholic beverages.

The original color of the liqueur became the basis for creating a variety of cocktails, the most famous of which are “Blue Lagoon”, “Burning Ferrari”, “Tsunami”, “Blue Margarita”, etc.

Drinking the drink neat or with ice is not recommended - it can turn your mouth, tongue and teeth bright blue. And the cloying sweetness of Blue Curacao will quickly make you change your mind and mix it with something stronger.

Composition and preparation

All Curacao liqueurs, no matter what color they are, have exactly the same composition:

• dried bitter orange zest;
• grape alcohol;
• spices: nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon;
• sugar;
• water.

The liqueur is prepared in several stages.

1. Infuse orange peel and spices with alcohol.
2. Distill the resulting tincture through a cube.
3. Add sugar and water (the strength of the original drink is 30 degrees).

The resulting base is tinted in different colors. In the case of the blue variation, a dye is used that the manufacturers (Bols or DeKuyper) call natural.

Officially, an extract of a certain exotic flower from the same island of Curacao is added to the liqueur, where the drink itself is produced. It is said that the pomace acquires a bright blue color after it enters an alkaline environment.

Such stories do not inspire much confidence. Most likely, one of the copper sulfate products is used, purified and suitable for internal consumption. The blue variety of liqueur has too pure a color.

In addition to the alcoholic blue drink, non-alcoholic Blue Curacao syrup is also popular. To prepare this product, orange peels are boiled in sugar syrup with spices, and then coloring is added. The syrup is an excellent base for non-alcoholic lemonades and children's cocktails.

Varieties of Blue Curacao

Many people are interested in what gives Blue Curacao its rich blue color? The first liqueurs of this variety were absolutely clear, since white rum was used for their production.

There are no secret alchemical ingredients in this drink that give such an unusual cornflower blue color as one would like to think. This is just a PR stunt; De Kuyper marketers decided that the bright shade would arouse interest among consumers, and with it an increase in sales. Therefore, during the production of Blue Curacao, a natural dye was added, which, when released into an alkaline environment, gives the drink a blue color.

Other manufacturers, having decided to copy the De Kuyper trick, did not bother too much and used well-known food dyes for coloring:

• E133 is the safest food coloring available. It is capable of imparting a brilliant blue color to drinks and other edibles.
• Dyes E133 and E132 are also widely used in food production, but they are not considered harmless.

Today you can find not only blue Curacao on sale. The coloring idea turned out to be successful, and bartenders were able to create various beautiful colored cocktails from this liqueur. Therefore, green, white, orange and blue Curacao are now available in stores.

Curacao liqueurs can delight not only with unusual and bright colors. This alcoholic drink is a digestif, which means it improves digestion. Therefore, it is recommended to consume it after meals.

Price

Something else worth noting is the cost of Curacao. The liqueur, the price of which is not shocking (and this is another plus), costs about 1,200 rubles per 700 ml. When purchasing, it is more profitable to take the maximum volume. Since 500 ml, for example, will cost 1000 rubles. It's not much cheaper, and the difference in the amount of alcohol is decent.

Today, many countries produce this liqueur. However, if possible, it is worth buying the original. Because some manufacturers cheat and add peels of regular oranges rather than bitter ones. This makes the taste completely different from what it should be. It's worth remembering this.

Making Blue Curacao at home

To color the liqueur, which in this case is the key point that distinguishes this drink from many other similar ones, you can use food coloring from a candy store or try some natural ingredients.

1. So, to color drinks blue, you can use the fairly common blue cornflower petals, which are often used to tint absinthe (when mixed with saffron they give a green color, which was already useful to us when preparing green Chartreuse).
2. Another bright and 100% natural ingredient that few people still know about is Clitoria trifoliate petals, also known as Thai blue tea or anchan. It is easy to find in tea shops, it gives a rich color, but has practically no taste.

The only thing is that all natural dyes are short-lived and quickly fade in sunlight, so it is advisable to store liqueur in a dark container or in a dark place.

Classic recipe

Ingredients:

• Sugar syrup - 3 cups
• Nutmeg - 30 gr
• Vodka - 1 liter
• Orange peels (dried) - 50 g
• Cinnamon - 1 g
• Food coloring - optional
• Cloves - 3 buds

Preparation

Blue Curacao liqueur contains blue or cyan food coloring, which is what gives the drink such a pleasant hue. However, you can make homemade liqueur in a different color, optionally green, orange or leave it white.

Making this drink at home is very simple - the most important thing is to have all the necessary ingredients on hand. To do this, you don’t have to go to the Caribbean islands - just go to the nearest store.

1.Pour dried orange peels into a glass jar. If you don't have ready-made peels, take one ripe orange, wash it and carefully cut off the peel. The crusts can be dried in the oven for several hours, in a special dryer, or left in a dry, warm place for several days.

2. Add spices to the crusts: nutmeg, several cloves and cinnamon. Pour vodka over this mixture and immediately close the jar with a lid.

Curacao liqueur can be prepared at home in about one week - place the jar with the ingredients in a warm place and shake it periodically.

3. When the drink is infused, it will need to be strained through several layers of gauze or a fine plastic strainer and poured into bottles or a decanter.

4. Before making Blue Curacao liqueur, do not forget to prepare the dye. If you don't have it on hand, your liqueur will be a normal white color with a slight orange tint. The coloring can be added to a ready-made drink, so you can color it in the most amazing colors right before serving.

If you prefer natural ingredients, you can use fruit or vegetable juices as dyes.

Green color comes from spinach juice, red comes from cherries and beets. Carrot juice will give your liqueur an orange color.
