1. Curaçao is written with a 'c' - cedille, that is pronounced as an 's'. As in 'Curasao'. NOT as a 'k', making it 'Kurakao'. The 'u' is pronounced as the Spanish 'u'. Neither is it: 'Kurazao'.

2. The beverage 'Curaçao' has no plural. We speak of 'a bottle of Curaçao' or of 'ten bottles of Curaçao'. Or of 'a glass of Curaçao' or 'ten glasses of Curaçao'. On the other hand: Some people say: He drank 'ten whiskys', or 'ten beers'. So it should be possible to say: He drank ten 'Curaçaos'. Okay! Forget point 2.
