Ferrand Dry CuraƧao is part of our Fruit Liqueurs collection. It comes from Ferrand and is crafted in France.
Essential for Mai Tais and Margaritas, Ferrand Dry CuraƧao is an outstanding orange liqueur, a re-creation of a lost style of curaƧao prevalent in the 19th century using the original Lahara oranges. Carefully crafted by the experts at Maison Ferrand, this unique elixir is a blend of Ferrand Cognac, unaged French brandy, and dried peel of bitter CuraƧao oranges. Tasting notes include, sweet oranges and lemons, lightly-toasted sugarcane, with grilled almonds and prune.
It completely revitalizes the orange liqueur category. Unlike modern triple secs that rely on heavy syrups and synthetic extracts, it offers a rich and bittersweet profile. The Cognac base adds a luxurious mouthfeel and deep spice notes that perfectly balance the bright orange zest.
This is an essential modifier for premium cocktails. Its best application is upgrading classic recipes like the Margarita, the Mai Tai, or the Sidecar. Because of its complex Cognac base, it is also highly enjoyable sipped neat as a traditional digestif.
Nose: Vibrant aromas of orange blossom and candied citrus peel mixed with toasted wood and vanilla.

Great for making any number of tiki drinks
By itself, it's a solid orange liqueur, but where it really shines is mixed with tequila. For years, I've been making margaritas with Cointreau or other triple sec, and while I loved the ones with Cointreau, I always found they were far too dry and needed some added sweetness, while the ones made with other clear triple secs I found to be underproof or artificial tasting. This is exactly the bottle I was looking for to fix that issue. If you want to improve your margarita game, this is now my go-to. It even works great in cosmos, though it does darken the color a bit.
I had many classic recipes that used it and the purchase exceeded my expectations highly recommended.
Before I discovered curiada I had my local liquor store special order this for me.
I use it in margaritas, mai tais, etc. Have not found a drink that call for curacao it did not improve.
