Triple sec
Triple sec is a sweet, orange-flavored liqueur made by distilling and then sweetening neutral spirits with orange peels and oils. It is clear and typically has an alcohol content around 20-40%. Commonly used in cocktails like the Margarita and Cosmopolitan, triple sec adds a citrusy brightness and balanced sweetness. Originating from France, it serves as a versatile ingredient in many mixed drinks, enhancing flavor while providing a smooth, orange-infused depth.
