Yes, but not because of the blue. The only difference in about 99% of the curacao between blue and any other color is the color. You may think it tasted different because it changes the color of your drink so much, but if you taste them blind you will be surprised. There is, however, quite a bit of difference between the different brands and types of Curacao/Triple Sec/Orange stuff and Scottes pretty much nailed it on another thread in here somewhere. Look for it, it is worth a read. Oh, and welcome to Tiki Central Johnnyfootballhero. Always nice to have new livers to chat with. Did I say liver, my bad. I meant always nice to have new people to chat with.
