The De Kuyper Royal Distillery can trace their history to 1695. Petrus De Kuyper worked for a coppersmith whose casks were used for transporting Dutch gin and beer. In 1729, his son, Johannes, bought a distillery in Schiedam – the centre of Dutch gin production. Johannes De Kuypers distillery began producing Dutch gin principally for export to Britain and her colonies. In 1920, De Kuyper began producing liqueurs and, by the 1930s De Kuyper had produced almost twenty varieties including Apricot Brandy, Cherry Brandy, Triple Sec and Créme de Menthe. In the 1960s liqueurs became De Kuypers core business and they sponsored the first-ever cocktail competitions. Triple Sec is a very, very essential cocktail ingredient. It’s the liqueur of choice in many classic cocktails. Truly iconic in a sizzling Margarita, next to glorious bad boy tequila. Triple Sec is invented by the French in the 19th century, inspired by the Dutch (du-huh) who have been making orange liqueurs from the 17th century on. Distilled from dried, bitter Curaçao oranges and sweet oranges. It’s crystal clear, it’s strong, amazingly aromatic, full of delicious citrus and slightly sweet.
