This is a fantastic orange liqueur that is sweeter compared to the dryness of Pierre Ferrand Orange Curacao and makes a great Mai Tai

Having read the positive reviews I was anxious to try this one in its most natural form, and it more than met my expectations. Wonderful orange flavor, nice level of sweetness, and has a pretty smooth finish. I can see why this would be a good one to use in cocktails, but it certainly also stands up by itself.

First off: This is rum as much as Grand Marnier is Cognac.
It tastes a lot like Grand Marnier but smoother and lighter.
I can also see sipping this at Christmas, though Stroh 80 would do a better job of lighting the pudding.
lovely zesty orange nose.
taste still a little sweet but it is a liqueur and when mixing care is needed with a sour lest it be overwhelmed
Beginning to really like it on its own

Nearly cointreau, but much more like a rum. Nice orange taste, finish but with the taste of the fantastic orange favour

Maradjunk annyiban, hogy LIQUEUR! A rumhoz ízvilágilag elég csekély köze sincs. Szobahőmérsékleten elég rendes alkoholos izzel bír, viszont fagyasztóból kínálva a hölgyek kedvence :) édes, narancsízű és itatja magát. Attention!!! Azért 40%-os. Hamar elérheti az ember lányát a végzet.

Tasted at Laka Lono on Easter Sunday, 4/4/21
And what could be a better choice for Easter?
notes below:
So good! Orangey goodness! I would drink this with baklava and sharp cheeses.

Bon rhum aromatisé qui me fait penser à du Grand Marnier. Prochaine fois, j'aimerais le goûter frais ou avec une glace.

A very good orange curacao for Mai Tai's
6
/10
out of 10
I had not made my own Mai Tai's at home because orgeat syrup is just so hard to find. It must have orange flower water in it to qualify as orgeat instead of just plain almond syrup. I also had to look for a bottle of orange curacao, which is also hard to find these days, with the blue curacao dominating the market now. These two needs prompted my long trek to a very well stocked liquor store.
I could not find anything labeled Orange Curacao, but came across this Clement Creole Shrubb. It was a much better buy than a half bottle of Grand Marnier, which would have been my last resort choice. This liqueur is at least made with rhum agricole from Martinique instead of French Brandy. I also found a bottle of Monin Orgeat Syrup and a couple of other goodies.
This rhum/liqueur is much smoother than Gran Marnier, has a better orange flavor, and also has some West Indian spices thrown in. I bought it as a mixer, which is what it will get used for. At $28 for a 750 ml bottle, this was a bargain. This makes excellent Mai Tai's and Goombay Smashes!
A perfect Mai Tai calls for a half ounce of orange liqueur such as this, a quarter ounce of simple syrup, and a quarter ounce of orgeat syrup. Since this Creole Shrub is so intensely sweet, the temptation will arise to change the simple syrup to another quarter ounce of this one. Don't do it!!! The extra orange flavoring will screw up your Mai Tai for sure! After lots of trials, I have found that one ounce each of Appleton Reserve Blend and Sweet Crude Black Gold Single Harvest Rum work the best. If you can no longer find the Sweet Crude, then Depaz Cane Blue will work for the rhum agricole portion. The sixth ingredient is the lime juice.
