| | Triple sec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The word sec would normally mean "dry" in the French language, implying a lack of sweetness; but sec, in this case, means distilled, explaining the colourless appearance of the liqueur from the three-stage process, as well as the un-implied sweetness. |
 | | The original triple sec is Cointreau, a liqueur developed by Adolphe and Edouard-Jean Cointreau in France. |
 | | Triple sec has an average ABV of 30%, or 60 proof, though different brands vary in alcohol content from 20% to 40%. |
