Triple Sec is a popular orange-flavored liqueur known for its versatility in cocktails. Originating from France, Triple Sec is made from the dried peels of bitter and sweet oranges, which are distilled to extract their essential oils and flavors. The name "Triple Sec" refers to the liqueur's triple distillation process and its dry, or less sweet, profile compared to other orange liqueurs.

Typically, Triple Sec has an alcohol content ranging from 15% to 40% ABV, depending on the brand and production methods. Its flavor profile is characterized by a bright, citrusy orange taste with a balanced sweetness and a hint of bitterness. This makes it an essential ingredient in many classic cocktails, including the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, and Mai Tai.

Triple Sec is valued for its ability to add a refreshing orange essence to cocktails without overpowering the other ingredients. It is also used in cooking and baking to impart a citrusy flavor to various dishes and desserts. The versatility and distinctive taste of Triple Sec have made it a staple in bars and kitchens worldwide.
