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.

Curaçao takes its name from the Dutch West Indian island where the style originated, traditionally made from the dried peel of the bitter Laraha orange — and Vedrenne's version stays close to that classic method, using only orange peel, soaked in water before distillation and rectification, rather than a simpler juice-based infusion. At 35% ABV, this Orange expression sits notably stronger than Vedrenne's milder Bleu Curaçao sibling (25% ABV), giving bartenders a more robust, higher-proof option for cocktails that need real structure rather than just sweetness and colour. It's a genuine essential for classic cocktails built on orange liqueur — Margaritas, Sidecars, Mai Tais and countless tiki drinks — and its natural amber colour makes it a more traditional-looking alternative to bright blue Curaçao for drinks where you want authentic orange character to show through visually as well as on the palate. As part of Vedrenne's range of more than 30 cocktail liqueurs, built on the same century of maceration and distillation expertise behind the house's celebrated Crème de Cassis, it's a reliable, classically styled Curaçao for any serious cocktail bar.
