Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Mi jacque, I researched its etymology: In this one book, it says the word sec is from the French, literally sack. Weird, huh? " Triple Sec " is also a 1934 trademark for a colorless orange-flavored liquer (that's what dictionary says). Then another etymological dictionary (this is my job--I have books! grin) says sec/sack, probably is more akin to Sanskrit, meaning 'to pour.' Another volume I have here says sec refers to any number of wines that are made from dried fruits, or concentrate of fruit, such as champagne. there you go. Pass the Windex. (laughing, laughing) love, ceep << Surely you jest...knowing Spanish...you know seco means " dry. " Although, for the life of me, I don't know why they'd call it triple sec, as it is anything but dry. It's sweet. Ah well...you asked...=^) Regards~ Jacque >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Well whaddaya know? Oops, better not ask that..you'll tell me..hahah!~!! Very interesting indeed...and here I was only thinking of latin and not Sanskrit. Hee hee! Well, live 'n' learn...I always says! Then, of course, we could strain this out and see it is made from *DRY* fruit? Do ya suppose? Nah! If it's in print...it must be right...right? heh heh!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Then, of course, we could strain this out and see it is made from *DRY* fruit? ==================================================== As long as you're straining it into another cosmo glass and not down the drain, I'd be willing to host the experiment. I'm sure I know a few people (no names but they live in NJ and upstate NY) that would be more than happy to assist me to find out if there is any dry fruit in triple sec. Maybe I can apply it to next semesters chemistry class and get extra credit for a lab. Anything in the name of science. LOL Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 I've been told I look DAMN cute in a lab coat, and quite fetching in the glow of a bunson burner!
