It's sweet enough, and orangey enough. If you haven't seen it, you might be interested in the Orange Liqueur Throwdown Challeneg thread. Among other people, I reviewed the 10 orange liqueurs in my arsenal, and said the following about the Leroux Orange Curacao: "Strong orange smell with some bitter detected, though somewhat artificial. Less orange taste, more sweetness, and quickly finished with no burn at all. Relatively unremarkable, though this has enough orange taste to be considered for the inexpensive, sweet cocktails." The Leroux was the second-worst of the 10.
