The drink first developed and marketed by the Curaçao Jewish Senior family in the 18th century. It has an orange flavour, with varying degrees of bitterness, but is used primarily as a colouring agent in cocktails and other mixed drinks. The famous blue colour is artificially added; curaçao liqueur is produced clear, and can have red, orange, green (or blue) colouring added. So I guess the Senior family is the Original Curacao Liqueur makers. I remember reading somewhere that there's a number of small family run Curacao distilleries on the island, does anyone know where to find these small batch labels in the US?
