Giffard Blue Curaçao is a Curacao from the Giffard Liqueurs Collection brand hailing from France.

What is Giffard Blue Curaçao?

Giffard Blue Curaçao is a vibrant, orange-flavored liqueur that adds both striking color and citrusy depth to cocktails. Interestingly, despite its iconic blue hue, the liqueur is actually made from the dried peels of the laraha citrus fruit, a descendant of Valencia oranges that adapted to the arid climate of Curaçao island, resulting in a distinctly bitter and aromatic flavor profile.

Why do we love Giffard Blue Curaçao?

Giffard Blue Curaçao stands out from other blue curaçaos with its natural blue color derived from spirulina, rather than artificial dyes. This French liqueur also boasts a more complex flavor profile than many competitors, blending Caribbean bitter orange peels with spices and a neutral spirit base for a balanced, mixable product that adds both color and depth to cocktails.

How do you drink Giffard Blue Curaçao?

Giffard Blue Curaçao shines brightest in tropical and tiki-style cocktails, where its vibrant color and sweet orange flavor can take center stage. While it's rarely sipped neat, this versatile liqueur adds a splash of summer to drinks year-round, pairing exceptionally well with light, citrusy dishes or spicy Caribbean cuisine.

Nose: Bright citrus notes of orange peel and tangerine dominate, backed by subtle hints of vanilla and spice. A light floral aroma reminiscent of orange blossoms lingers in the background.

Palate: Sweet orange flavors burst forward, balanced by a mild bitterness from orange zest. Undertones of coriander and nutmeg add complexity. The texture is smooth and syrupy, coating the tongue without being overly thick.

Finish: Medium-length finish with lingering orange sweetness. A slight warmth emerges, accompanied by faint notes of clove and cinnamon. The aftertaste is clean, leaving a pleasant citrus freshness on the palate.

Giffard Blue Curaçao is crafted using a blend of dried orange peels, primarily from the laraha citrus fruit native to Curaçao, which are macerated in neutral alcohol along with spices and sugar. The vibrant blue color, which gives this liqueur its distinctive appearance, is achieved through the addition of natural colorants during the final stages of production.

  • Giffard Blue Curaçao isn't actually made from blue oranges! The vibrant blue color comes from a natural food coloring, while the orange flavor is derived from the dried peels of Laraha oranges, a unique variety found only on the Caribbean island of Curaçao.
  • Despite its tropical associations, Giffard Blue Curaçao is crafted in the Loire Valley of France, a region better known for its wines. The Giffard family has been producing liqueurs there since 1885, blending French expertise with Caribbean flavors.
  • The recipe for Giffard Blue Curaçao includes a secret blend of spices that gives it a complexity beyond just orange. Some tasters report hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and even a touch of almond, making it a surprisingly versatile cocktail ingredient.

      The best of them all

      Over time I’ve tried multiple brands of blue curaçao. Gifford by far the best brand.

      Super vibrant color makes “blue Hawaii” stand out.

      It has well balanced orange flavour.
