However, the Triple Sec brands available consisted of Bols, Hiram Walker, Monarch, Potters, and DeKuyper. I scratch my head in confusion as to the necessity for so many -- especially as Monarch and Potters are the basement of bottom shelf liquors and liqueurs. Why DeKuyper Curacao is not featured in the liquor stores I shop in is beyond me. ('Course, there are many others round here, and perhaps their selection may be broader.) Comparing DeKuyper -- the original Curacao used in Victor's mai tai -- to Hiram Walker triple sec (much less in price) seems the most feasible of taste tests for cocktail-based orange liqueurs, in both sipping and mixed into a tropical drink.
