I'm trying to learn how to mix drinks and in the ingredients they ask for a triple "sec" and I don't know what that is.

Triple secs is a strong, sweet and colorless orange flavored liqueur and used in thousands of mixed drinks and recipes as a sweetening and flavoring agent. It is made from the dried peel of oranges found on Curacao, an island in the Caribbean.
"Sec" in French would usually mean 'dry' but in this case, it means "distilled' .

Go to a liquor store and ask for a bottle of Triple Sec. It isn't a measurement, it is a type of alcohol. You put it in drinks, like margharita's and such. I think you can get cheaper versions, but it is better to stick with the original in this case, unless the store keeper can suggest a good, cheaper version that tastes similar.

It's an orangey flavored liquor. It's the actual name of the alcohol, "triple sec". I think you can buy substitutes cheaper than the name brand stuff. They should be found in the same area.

Triple sec is a type of orange syrup that can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. It's usually used to flavor margaritas. "Sec" is just the name of the syrup, not anything special. Go to your local liquor or grocery store, and look for it...

Triple sec is an orange flavoured liquor, you could always use cointreau instead. Enjoy. Hic!
