Blue Curaçao, the vivid blue liqueur behind countless cocktails, was created on this island from the dried peel of the laraha, a bitter orange descended from Spanish plantings that adapted to the arid climate.
The colour is added; the flavour comes from the aromatic laraha peel. You can tour the Senior & Co.
Chobolobo distillery, the original maker, to taste the liqueur in clear, blue, orange and other hues and learn the story
Bottles make a classic souvenir, sold all over Punda steps from the hotel.
