It has orange peel flavors and is sweet and slightly bitter. Try this liquor on the rocks for sipping. Avoid drinking high amounts of blue curacao straight because it’s high in sugar compared to other alcohol shots.

Blue curacao has a lower alcohol content compared to other alcohols like vodka, gin, rum and whisky. On average, it has a 25% ABV, but the exact amount of alcohol it has varies by brand. Other spirits have about 40% ABV.
