"Triple Sec is the name for a category of dry orange liqueurs: it translates to "triple dry" in French. The other major family of orange liqueurs is Curaçao, which are sweeter (and sometimes blue, like in these Blue Curacao cocktails!). Within the Triple Sec category, you'll find a wide range of quality and price: check out my guide to Cointreau vs Triple Sec."
"Triple Sec is also the name for a product. In most liquor stores, bottles labeled Triple Sec are typically more affordable than something like Cointreau, which is a higher end Triple Sec. Either works well in these cocktails, though I've found Cointreau adds a bit more depth so I generally prefer that over a bottle labeled "Triple Sec". My guide to the best Triple Sec for Margaritas covers all the options."
Triple Sec refers to a category of dry orange liqueurs and translates from French as "triple dry". The other major family of orange liqueurs is Curaçao, which tends to be sweeter and sometimes appears blue. The Triple Sec category includes a wide range of quality and price points. Bottles labeled Triple Sec in liquor stores are typically more affordable than higher-end examples such as Cointreau. Both budget Triple Sec and higher-end versions work well in cocktails. Higher-end Cointreau often adds more depth of flavor, and many bartenders and drinkers favor it for margaritas and other cocktails.
