Trois Citrus is Merlet’s reinterpretation of the traditional triple sec orange liqueur. Trois Citrus is made of oranges (curaçao and sweet), mandarin, and lime. The peels of the citruses are separately macerated in pure alcohol. Most of them are then distilled. The distillates are blended with the non-distilled macerations. A minimal quantity of sugar is added to obtain the final product. The different citruses offer a unique complexity, while low sugar levels allow use in dry cocktails. The high proof of the product makes it possible for bartenders to use it as the base spirit. Thanks to the bitter touch of the non-distilled macerations, the palate appears dryer and the finish is longer.
