About Senior Curaçao Liqueur
Senior Curaçao Liqueur is the orange liqueur Senior & Co. has made on Curaçao since 1896, and the company says it is the only brand in the world still making curaçao from the dried peel of the island's laraha orange. Because the name carries no protection of origin — unlike champagne or tequila, curaçao need not be made in Curaçao — the distillery markets itself as the only curaçao of Curaçao. It is sold clear as a triple sec at 31 and 40 per cent alcohol and coloured blue, orange, red and green; the blue bottling, kosher certified and 31 per cent, is the one that colours a Blue Lagoon or a Blue Hawaii.

About the owner: Senior & Co.
Senior & Co. is a privately held company headquartered in Willemstad, Curaçao, founded in 1896. Brandtree records 3 brands under its control.
Senior & Co. distils curaçao liqueur on Curaçao, at the nineteenth-century country house Landhuis Chobolobo in Willemstad. It dates itself to 1896, when Haim Mendes Chumaceiro and his business partner Edgar Senior were running a drugstore on the island called the Botika Excelsior and Chumaceiro began making an aperitif to a family recipe, sold first as Senior's Curacao Tonic and soon renamed Senior's Curacao Liqueur. Production shrank to his widow's house after his death around 1900, and the company as it now stands was incorporated in 1945, when descendants of the Senior and Chumaceiro families and several of the island's larger businesses took shares in it and bought the recipe from the widow. It still makes its liqueur from the dried peel of the laraha, the bitter orange that Valencia stock turned into in Curaçao's dry heat, and runs the distillery as a tourist attraction with guided tours and a cocktail workshop.
