That's your flavor difference. I say a dash of real vanilla in a homemade simple syrup is the way to go on this, personally. By the way, the authentic curacao that thejab has is actually distilled clear, and has orange color added. They also make a blue, purple, and green! I'd always held out hope that there was a natually colored curacao out there, but with the original one letting me down, that dream has died hard.
