But, to your recipe... Blue Curacao is exactly the same as Orange curacao, except blue. I know you end up with a freakin green Mai Tai, but, close your eyes. It's the same flavor.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but are you sure? I can often taste artificial colors, particularly some blues (I know this primarily from eating blue icing on a birthday cake—sugar does NOT taste like that). Is it possible the coloring is affecting the flavor?
People experience taste quite differently, especially people referred to as "super tasters." It could possibly be that jardoin may be tasting something different.
Once again, I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just positing. Can anyone with direct taste experience comment on this?
I haven't done a taste test within the same brand but I do trust whatever Beachbum Berry might have to say about it.
On page 11 of The Grog Log you will find this:
"There's no difference between CURACAO and BLUE CURACAO except their color..."
