History

The spirit was invented in 1834 by Jean-Baptiste Combier in Saumur, France. 'Original Combier Triple sec' is still made today using only sun-dried orange skins from Haiti that are steeped in alcohol for 24 hours and distillation in 100-year-old copper pot stills. The word ''sec'' means ''dry'' in French.

Alcohol content

Triple sec has an average ABV of 30%, or 60 proof (US), though different brands vary in alcohol content from 15% to 40%.
