Store Hard Liquor at Room Temperature
There's no need to refrigerate or freeze hard liquor whether it's still sealed or already opened.

Does Curacao go bad?

Although the alcohol content keeps the cream or fruit or herbs from spoiling quickly, the liqueur does have a limited shelf life once opened. ... Although there's no guarantee, liqueurs like curacao and schnapps likely will last a few years once they're opened, depending how much air is in the bottle.

Does liquor need to be refrigerated?

The rule I use is: If it's under 15% alcohol or if the base is wine, it goes in the fridge once it's open. Spirits like whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, etc. don't need to be refrigerated because the high alcohol content preserves their integrity.
