I made a Mai Tai with it once, and color was not the only difference- it was nasty.

Hmmm... Maybe it was just the psychological effect, because the only difference between blue, orange, green & white curacao is the artifical coloring used.

Jeff, the bartender at Sam's Seafood, makes the only drink officially named "The Tiki Central" available at a public bar. It's their Mai Tai with blue instead of orange curacao, and it looks like swamp water but tastes just fine.

Another excellent substitute for curacao is Citronge, from the same folks that produce Patron tequilas & Pyrat rums.

I know- that's what I always thought. But it was nasty! Maybe it's just that Hiram Walker is crappy curacao, blue or otherwise. I really like the Marie Brizzard Orange Curacao, but can't find it. I was hoping they'd have it at Internet Wines, but no luck.
