Triple sec! That sounds fabulous! I have never tried it. My wife asked me to do the same and the spice I use were 3oz coriander 1.5oz sweet orange peel zest from 2 oranges. Everything else looks spot on.

Keep updated on the use of triple sec I am intrigued!
 
Brewed this today: 1 oz of bitter orange zest, 1 oz of lemon zest, and 3 fresh oranges worth of zest.

At the end of the boil smelled a little bit like fruit loops lol! I bought the Triple Sec today so this thing will be ready to go in a few weeks. I'll let you guys know how it goes!
