I don't like the syrupy glaze-over of Curacao so much. That's why I use a little extra lime when mixing with it, to cut it. I think the Cointreau has a more realistic orange flavor. Delicate, but certainly not a shrinking flavor. I agree that Cointreau is most definitely NOT the way to do a proper Mai Tai, but I've used it with good results when the curacao wasn't around. (which means I ran out)
