Triple Sec
Triple sec cocktails
Orange-liqueur sours that say triple sec on the recipe: Margarita, Sidecar, Cosmopolitan, White Lady, and Long Island Iced Tea.
Triple sec cocktails are the citrus drinks that call for a generic orange liqueur rather than Cointreau by name. The head of the list is the Margarita (tequila, lime) and the Sidecar (cognac, lemon). Vodka drinkers shake a Cosmopolitan; gin plus lemon is a White Lady. The long build is Long Island Iced Tea. Recipes that insist on Cointreau live on that hub so pantry matching stays honest.
