DeKuyper Blue Curaçao

Rating: 10/23 N: Orange and sweet. This seems fine, but unexciting. A lot like a less sharp Cointreau. P: Orange and sweet like the nose. It's kind of a subdued profile due to the low ABV. Some prickling spice from the orange oil comes out. The palate turns toward more alcohol flavor as it progresses. F: Orange with a bit of a metallic bitterness. Some sweetness is there, but not a ton. That bitter metal is a definite problem. - Conclusion - This is kind of too sweet. This is a mixer, not a sipper. That means that it really should be some stronger orange character to it. If I need a cocktail sweeter, I can always add simple syrup or just plain sugar. Add in the alcohol and metallic flavors and this is not a very good liqueur. It isn't bad, but It's certainly not good either. I'm thinking in the 10 to 13 range for it. I almost gave it an 11. There's nothing bad here, but it's pretty forgettable, but mostly fine. That metallic flavor though is too much. It's getting a 10.

Mine shows 27% ABV on the label, not sure was a mistype when this one was put in or if they change up the ABV on this one from time to time. Decent by itself, but pretty syrupy so it’s better mixed with sprite or another mixer.

Good orange flavor, lower ABV, more for only the flavor and good for color

Great in a Fish bowl.
