Vedrenne has been making liqueurs since 1923 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of Burgundy, initially winning recognition for the outstanding quality of its Crèmes de Cassis and fruit liqueurs. Now widely regarded as the third leading French producer of fruit and cocktail liqueurs, and the leader in the upmarket segment for bartenders, mixologists and connoisseurs, Vedrenne combines over a century of expertise with modern processing techniques across a wide range spanning liqueurs, aperitifs, fortified wines, fruit eaux de vie and syrups. The brand operates a museum devoted to Cassis at its main production site, alongside a smaller, more experimental distillery in the Dordogne/Périgord region, and its liqueurs receive numerous international awards each year for exceptional quality.

Vedrenne builds this Blue Curaçao from a genuine orange alcoholate — real distilled orange character with blue colouring added, rather than an artificially flavoured base — a distinction independent reviewers have specifically praised, calling it "a good example of a blue curaçao with a premium 25% alc./vol." That higher strength gives it real structural presence in cocktails, standing up to spirits rather than just adding sweetness and colour the way lower-proof blue curaçaos often do. Its vivid, cobalt-blue colour makes it an essential tool for classic tropical and tiki cocktails — Blue Hawaiians, Blue Lagoons and countless other visually striking drinks rely on exactly this kind of genuine Curaçao character paired with bold colour. Vedrenne itself notes the orange peel character is "zingy and zesty at first, soft and full to taste" — exactly what you want from a proper Curaçao liqueur. As part of Vedrenne's range of more than 30 cocktail liqueurs, built on Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant-certified craftsmanship, it's a genuine step up from mass-market blue curaçao for any serious cocktail bar.
