Although I love me some orange bitters, I wouldn't count them as a suitable substitute for Curaçao. That's not to say they might not work but typically the bitters are a bit more astringent (like orange zest) whereas a Curaçao or triple sec would add orangey flavour but not the bitter zesty flavour.

Someone will probably correct me if I'm wrong, Curaçao is triple sec from a particular type of orange or area; so you can sub regular triple sec for Curaçao - in the past I have used:

Cointreau
Bols Triple Sec
Santa Teresa Rhum Orange

I've tried Pyrat XO & that would also be suitable sub.

Cheers :)
