Top Shelf Blue Curacao (A) Liqueur

Top Shelf Blue Curacao (A) Liqueur is a 50ml Still Spirits Top Shelf liqueur flavouring. With a Liqueur Base A and 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka it makes 1.125 litres of finished liqueur. Still Spirits describes it as "Refreshing with strong notes of orange."

What it tastes like

The bright blue orange liqueur. Strong orange flavour, sweet, and coloured for the cocktails that need it: a blue lagoon, a blue Hawaiian, or a splash in lemonade for the colour alone.

How to make it

Make up the Liqueur Base A as per the pack, add this 50ml bottle and 850ml of 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka, then top up to 1.125 litres with water. It is ready to pour the same day.

The spirit can be bought vodka or your own neutral spirit off an Air Still Pro or Turbo 500. Because a liqueur is sweet, it is more forgiving of a base spirit than a straight vodka essence is, but a carbon-filtered spirit still gives a cleaner result.

When to choose this one

Choose this when the recipe calls for blue curacao by name. Uses Base A with the full 850ml of spirit, so it comes out at the stronger end of the liqueur range. The full set is on the Top Shelf essences collection.
