Luxardo Triplum Triple Sec Orange Liqueur
Luxardo Triplum Triple Sec Orange Liqueur is Luxardo's take on the 19th-century triple sec — a liqueur distilled, not merely infused, from the dried peels of three citrus fruits: bitter curaçao orange, sweet orange, and mandarin, plus orange blossom. The infusion is double-distilled (heads and tails cut, heart only), then filtered, diluted, and sugared, bottled at 39% ABV. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Triple Sec, the 19th-Century Way
"Triplum" nods to the original meaning of triple sec — three peels, not three distillations — and Luxardo has made it the same way since the early 1800s: infuse the curaçao, sweet orange, and mandarin peels with orange blossom, then distill. One of the few liqueurs in the world actually obtained by distillation rather than infusion, it lands drier and more aromatic than commodity triple secs.

Tasting Notes
Expect intense bitter-orange oil, mandarin brightness, and orange-blossom florals, with a clean distilled spirit backbone and restrained sweetness. Drier and more complex than standard triple sec — the peel oils do the talking.
How to Enjoy
The upgrade for any triple sec cocktail — Margaritas, Cosmopolitans, Sidecars — where its drier profile and real distillation shine. Also excellent in a White Lady or simply over ice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Triplum mean in triple sec?
It refers to the three citrus peels (curaçao, sweet orange, mandarin) the liqueur is distilled from — "triple" sec is about the fruit, not the distillation count.
Is triple sec the same as curaçao?
Related but distinct — both are orange liqueurs, but triple sec is traditionally drier and, in Triplum's case, obtained by distillation.
What's the difference between Luxardo Triplum and Cointreau?
Both are premium triple secs; Triplum is distilled from three peels per a 19th-century recipe at 39% ABV, with a drier, more aromatic profile.
