Curaçao Aruba
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.53 / 5
The Curaçao Aruba cocktail is a tropical, citrus-forward blend that captures the essence of its Caribbean inspiration. It combines the clear, neutral base of vodka with the herbal botanicals present in gin to create a complex foundation. The cocktail is then brightened with a generous portion of orange juice and balanced with the sweet, exotic flavors of Pisang Ambon—a banana-flavored liqueur—and an additional layer of citrus complexity from orange liqueur. Served in a whisky glass, which might seem unconventional, this cocktail offers a refreshing and fruity tasting experience unique to its island-themed concoction.
