What Does Triple Sec Taste Like?

Simply put, it tastes like oranges. It somewhat resembles the taste of Orange Crush or even an orange-flavored Vodka. Triple Sec is a fruity, aromatic liqueur that adds a refreshing, citrus zing to any cocktail it's mixed in.

Triple Sec Cocktails To Try!

Triple Sec is a must-have mixer! Here are some Triple Sec cocktail recipes, perfect for any season or occasion, that I think you will LOVE! Invite some friends over and start mixing 😉

One of my FAVORITE cocktails! I honestly love a homemade marg I created this recipe to make a large pitcher for a party!

This Avocado Margarita is a unique favorite or my Spicy Pineapple Margarita made with Jalapeno Simple Syrup. This little addition is definitely a game-changer!

This pink rosé sangria is a beautiful refreshing pitcher drink to serve in the warmer months or on Galentines Day! It's perfectly sweet and just strong enough.

 

If you love the classic Lemon Drop shot, you'll love this cocktail too! It has the zing of the original variation with a calming, Lavender aroma. Super light and great for relaxation. Make sure to toss in some blueberries when making your Lavender Simple Syrup (see recipe at bottom) to incorporate that perfect pop of color. You can leave them out if you prefer. This cocktail is gorgeous, either way!

Because there are so many different types of liquor in this cocktail, Long Islands pack a serious punch and leave you feeling great after only one! Did you know Long Islands don't really have tea in them? It's Cola! These are yummy and ridiculously easy to make. A splash of this, a splash of that, and you have the ultimate cocktail!

Sophisticated, delicious, and pretty! The Grand Duchess cocktail really lives up to the name. The refreshingly sweet, citrus flavors of Triple Sec and orange juice with the bitterness of cranberries and vodka blend excellently to create this elegant cocktail.

GRAND DUCHESS

Ingredients:

• Vodka
• Triple Sec
• Cranberry Juice
• Orange Juice
• Cranberries or Orange Slices

The Grand Duchess would be ideal to serve at an adult tea party. Put on your fanciest outfit and break out your best tableware... just make sure you don't forget the tea 😉

So, you've probably heard of the Mimosa... but have you heard of a Beermosa?! The different spirits mixed here come together to give you the best of both worlds in this savory cocktail. These are great for brunch, tailgating, and boys' night out. Even with all of the citrus notes in this drink, it still holds the robust flavor of a good beer! Similar to Bloody Mary garnishes, this cocktail should be dressed with a snack on the side.

If you are a grapefruit lover, this one is for you. Good doesn't even begin to describe this cocktail! It is full of zest while the Thyme Simple Syrup creates a subtle, herbal flavor. I would suggest using fresh-squeezed juice for the most authentic taste, but store-bought works well to make the mixing process quick and easy.

A festive cocktail that is ideal for Fall and Winter get-togethers. These are so simple to throw together for a crowd and are likely to be a huge hit with everyone. Ginger Ale and Triple Sec give this cocktail a smooth finish and make them go down easy. Using the cinnamon stick for garnish also gives the option of adding a little extra spice to each glass!

If you need the perfect appetizer to pair with this cocktail, check out my list of bacon-wrapped appetizers! So many tasty options for your guests to enjoy.

If you prefer a subtle alcohol taste in your cocktails, you'll really enjoy this drink since the alcohol is overpowered by its fruity flavor. If your cocktail isn't strong enough, just add another shot of gin - play around and find what you like the best. This drink is so crisp and fizzy but tastes like a fruity, blueberry lemonade.

Change it up a bit and try my Homemade Blackberry Simple Syrup in place of the blueberry simple syrup with fresh blackberries for garnish! I bet it's equally divine!

Every bartender out there knows how to make the classic Sidecar. It is definitely a classic staple for good reason - it's simple, strong, and delicious! This is a brisk and bitter cocktail, so it pairs really well with brie appetizers or these amazing vegetarian stuffed mushrooms.

Festive and fabulous! This Sangria is full of fruit, red wine, and more flavor than you can imagine. Totally worth the extra effort of putting it together... plus, it is great for serving a crowd. While it seems fitting as a fall cocktail, it can absolutely be enjoyed year-round. Mix it up by using additional fruits of your choice. I can totally picture cranberries, cherries, and peaches in mine! 🙂

Magical is the best way to describe this cocktail. Whipped Cream Vodka and Triple Sec are a perfect match, here. It's sweet, smooth, and tastes exactly like a Creamsicle! I love how pretty and vibrant this drink is, especially with the clementine slices and edible flower garnish. What a super cute way to dress up your glass!
