Some sources claim it comes from a triple [[distillation]] process used to create the liqueur,<ref name="diffords176"/><ref name="barnone">{{cite web |title=Triple Sec |url=https://www.barnonedrinks.com/tips/dictionary/t/triple-sec-922.html |website=Bar None Drinks |access-date=30 July 2018}}</ref> but others say that a triple distillation is not used.<ref name="vinepair">{{cite web |last1=McKirdy |first1=Tim |date=3 December 2021 |title=What's the Difference Between Cointreau, Grand Marnier, Curaçao, and Triple Sec? |url=https://vinepair.com/articles/differences-cointreau-triple-sec-grand-marnier/ |access-date=18 January 2022 |website=VinePair}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Insider's Guide to Triple Sec |url=https://blog.cocktailbuilder.com/what-is-triple-sec/ |website=Cocktail Builder |access-date=18 January 2022}}</ref> [[Cointreau]], a brand of triple sec, is reported to have invented the term based on the three types of orange peels used in the liqueur, although other reports have Cointreau claim the triple to mean "three times the flavour of [[Curaçao (liqueur)|Curaçaos]]".<ref name="diffords176"/><ref name="seniorco">{{cite web |title=Difference Between Curaçao, Triple Sec & Orange Liqueur Explained |url=https://www.curacaoliqueur.com/articles/difference-curacao-liqueur-triple-sec |website=Senior & Co. |access-date=18 January 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=[ Spiritueux Magazine ] Triple sec ou liqueur d'orange, quelle est la différence entre un Cointreau et un Grand Marnier ? |url=http://www.spiritueuxmagazine.com/2015/08/le-triple-sec-definition.html |access-date=2023-10-27}}</ref>
