Why Every Cocktail Lover Needs Still Spirits Triple Sec

March 28, 2025

Bring Bar-Tier Citrus to Your Home with Still Spirits Triple Sec

Every cocktail fan has that one bottle they reach for when they’re trying to shake things up. For some it's rum, others keep a stash of limoncello, maybe even a raspberry liqueur waiting in the wings. But if there’s one ingredient clear, citrusy, and criminally underrated—it’s got to be Triple Sec.

And not just any Triple Sec. I’m talking about the Still Spirits Triple Sec Liqueur Essence – 50ml. If you’ve got a still bubbling away in your shed or a dream of crafting your own shelf of spirits, then this one earns its spot front and centre.

Why Triple Sec Deserves a Place in Your Spirits Kit

Triple Sec is one of those ingredients that knows how to multitask. Citrusy but not sweet, it brings a punch of orange zest balanced with floral bitterness. It’s what gives a cosmopolitan that clean kick and makes a margarita sing instead of slouch.

But here’s the kicker—when you’re picking up bottles off the shelf, you’re either paying too much for a fancy label or settling for a cheap version that tastes like melted orange candy. Not ideal when you’ve spent all that time crafting top-notch spirits from scratch at home.

That’s where Still Spirits Triple Sec Liqueur Essence shines—because it lets you skip the markup and go straight to the good stuff.

Homemade, But Make it Professional

I remember my first attempt at making a citrus liqueur. It involved dried orange peel, vodka, sugar syrup, and more zesting than I care to remember. The result? Sticky. Meh. And hard to recreate. With Triple Sec from Still Spirits, the process suddenly becomes more about crafting a cocktail and less about cleaning orange pulp out of your juicer.

Crisp orange flavour that smells like it just came off the tree
Mixes in minutes – combine the essence with your home-distilled alcohol and your favourite liqueur base
Lets you control the sweetness – just how much (or how little) sugar you like
Cost-conscious choice that stretches your booze budget
Perfect balance for cocktails without overpowering the drink

Need ideas? Try adding it to a mai tai, a sidecar, or spike your homemade soda water with it for a zesty non-sugary burst on a hot day. That custom flavour profile is what turns a basic backyard drink into a signature move. And let’s be honest—everyone loves that one friend who “makes the best margaritas ever.”

From Batch to Bragging Rights

There’s something incredibly rewarding about squeezing flavour out of your own still and sharing it with friends. Whether it’s at the weekend BBQ or bucks party, crafting your own liqueur gives your drinks a personal stamp. It's the difference between “Yeah I bought that” and “I made that myself.” Talk about bragging rights 🍹

When you’ve already invested the time into setting up your brewing gear and learning how ethanol behaves at different temperatures, don’t shortchange yourself when it comes to cocktail mixers. Your homemade Triple Sec should be just as high quality as everything else in the glass.

A Tool for the Tinkerer

What I really love about this essence is how it feeds that maker mindset. You know that slightly obsessive part of you that fine-tunes everything down to the gram? Triple Sec essence lets you adjust flavour strength, tweak sweetness, even experiment with ageing if you’re game.

It plays nicely with other spirits too. Maybe you use a clean vodka base for a citrus punch, or try it with a dark rum and aged sugar syrup for something richer. It's not boxed in. That makes it perfect for brewers who see every bottle as a small-batch experiment.

Is It Worth It?

If you’re serious about flavour and love stretching your budget while keeping quality high, yes—without a doubt. You’ll land better flavour than most pre-made bottles at a fraction of the price, and no worries about fillers hiding in the ingredient list. Just bold, dry orange flavour you built with your own two hands.

So next time the boys are around and someone throws out, “You gotta try that orange stuff he makes…”... you'll know your Still Spirits Triple Sec did its job.

Cheers to making great drinks with great flavour—right from home.

See you by the still,
