Triple sec, originally Curaçao triple sec, is a variety of Curaçao liqueur, an orange-flavoured liqueur made from the dried peels of bitter and sweet orange. Triple sec may be consumed neat as a digestif or on the rocks, but is more likely to be used as an ingredient in a variety of cocktails such as the margarita, Kamikaze, White Lady, Long Island Iced Tea, Sidecar, Skittle Bomb, Corpse Reviver #2 and Cosmopolitan. ==History== The Combier distillery claims that triple sec was invented some time between 1834 and 1848 by Jean-Baptiste Combier in Saumur, France.〔The Combier web site says that Combier's confectionery store opened in 1834, but says only that Triple Sec was invented "à cette époque" as a filling for his candies and chocolates; it also does not mention when Combier's ''Triple Sec'' was actually commercialized.〕 However, Combier was more famous for its élixir Combier, which contained orange but also many other flavorings.〔"Les liquoristes saumurois" in ''Saumur jadis'', anonymous Web publication at () cites Richard Gasnier, ''Les liquoristes saumurois de 1830 à 1910'', mém. de maîtrise, Angers, 2000, B.
