What is Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao?

Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao stands out for its complex, balanced flavor crafted from a 19th-century recipe involving three separate distillations of spices and bitter orange peels. Interestingly, this liqueur was developed in collaboration with cocktail historian David Wondrich, who helped recreate an authentic triple sec that closely mirrors what bartenders would have used in the golden age of classic cocktails.

Nose: Vibrant orange zest dominates, backed by subtle notes of cognac and spice. Hints of vanilla and candied citrus peel emerge. There's a subtle earthiness reminiscent of orange grove soil.

Palate: Rich and complex. Bitter orange peel balanced by cognac sweetness. Layers of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove unfold. A touch of vanilla smooths the edges. The mouthfeel is velvety with a slight oiliness from the citrus oils.

Finish: Long and warming. The bitter orange notes linger, accompanied by a gentle cognac burn. Spices fade slowly, leaving a pleasant dryness. A final whisper of vanilla and orange oil coats the palate.

Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao is crafted using a triple-distillation process of bitter orange peels and spices, which are then blended with cognac and brandy for added depth and complexity. This meticulous production method, based on a 19th-century recipe and developed in collaboration with cocktail historian David Wondrich, results in a rich, balanced liqueur that elevates classic cocktails.

  • Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao contains a secret blend of 14 botanicals, including exotic spices like grains of paradise and angelica root, giving it a complexity that sets it apart from other orange liqueurs.
  • The recipe for this curaçao was rediscovered in an 1844 distiller's manual and recreated in collaboration with cocktail historian David Wondrich, making it a true taste of 19th-century mixology.
  • Unlike many modern curaçaos that use neutral grain spirits, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao is made with a base of cognac, adding depth and character that can elevate even the simplest cocktails.

      The answer to less-than-ideal margaritas

      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.

      Don't care how you say it.

      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.

      Orange Goodness!

      First off, let's dive into its flavor profile - this stuff is sweet, but not sickeningly so, and the best part is, it doesn't have that artificial taste you might find in some other orange liqueurs. Say goodbye to that harsh after bite you get with Cointreau - this baby is smooth as silk!

      Now, let's get into the cocktails where this bad boy really shines. The Pegu Club is an absolute delight with this bottle, along with the Mai Tai. Trust me when I say, you haven't experienced a true Mai Tai until you've tried it with Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao. The rich orange essence dances effortlessly with the rum and other tropical flavors, giving you a sip that's both refreshing and sophisticated.

      The Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao, It's the real deal, and it's about to become a staple in your home bar. Cheers! 🍹
