Tourist guide Genesis Riley explains the liquor production process to tourists at The Curacao Liqueur Distillery in Willemstad, Curacao, in the Dutch Caribbean, on April 9, 2026. The iconic blue color of Curaçao liquor is not natural; it is obtained by adding a coloring agent designed to evoke the turquoise waters of the island’s idyllic Caribbean beaches.
