Scoundrel gets a ‘Canada’ liqueur? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

curacao

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'liqueur?' is the definition.
(curacao is a kind of liqueur)

'scoundrel gets a canada' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'scoundrel' could be 'cur' (cur can mean a despicable person) and 'cur' is found in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for curacao that I've seen before include "Caribbean island and bitter orange liqueur" , "Spirit" , "drink" , "Liqueur flavoured with bitter orange peel" , "Island in the Dutch Antilles" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
