Jonah Flicker is a freelance journalist based in Brooklyn whose work focuses on spirits, food and travel. And that 'sec' relates to the fact that Cointreau had a lower sugar content as the brand's higher quality spirit required less sugar compared to competitors that used more sugar to soften their rough spirits.
As the Francophile name suggests, triple sec liqueurs originated in France with Combier claiming Jean-Baptiste Combier made the first as early as at his distillery in Saumur, France, with the best-known triple sec brand, Cointreau following in when Edouard Cointreau took over the distillery his father Edouard-Jean Cointreau had established in Angers, France with his brother Adolphe in While the French created the triple sec liqueur style they were not the first to distil orange peels to make an orange liqueur.
That honour goes to the Dutch. The Dutch West India Company WIC followed soon after, and despite being a small nation, the Dutch quickly became the world's leading traders with the port of Rotterdam remaining Europe's largest to this day.
Cointreau is the world's best-known triple sec and while constituently excellent so are other more affordable brands such as De Kuyper's Triple Sec I'm talking about the Dutch product produced by the De Kuyper family rather than the stuff available in the US which is owned and produced by Beam Suntory. While on the subject of favourite brands I'd also like to take the opportunity to mention Agave Sec , a sugar free triple sec sweetened with agave syrup designed to make margaritas which I helped our friends at Giffard create.
Although Cointreau removed the name triple sec from its labels sometime between the wars, its dominance of the category has led to many other brands of triple sec being presented in similarly squat square bottles, or brown bottles, or a combination of Cointreau's two most distinctive features. Triple sec liqueurs can be enjoyed neat over ice but they are more usually served mixed, particularly in cocktails.
We've over more cocktail recipes using triple sec here on Difford's Guide. The liqueur is traditionally rum-based, but modern iterations are also made with distilled grain spirits. As the popularity of the category grew throughout the 19th century, cheap imitations appeared, often including extra sugar to mask poor flavor.
This led to the spirit becoming more closely associated with sweetness rather than orange flavor. They range in strength from 15 to 40 percent ABV. In modern parlance, triple sec is often used as a generic term for any orange liqueur, and sometimes denotes a low-grade knock-off.
