Born from a family of confectioners in 19th-century France, Cointreau was never just another orange liqueur, it was the reinvention of what liqueur could be. When Édouard Cointreau first balanced bitter and sweet orange peels in 1875, he created a crystal-clear triple sec that would become a cornerstone of mixology. From Parisian salons to cocktail bars across the globe, Cointreau has danced through generations, bold, bright, and unmistakably French.

Cointreau Liqueur 70cl
Brand: Cointreau | Category: Orange Liqueur (Triple Sec) | ABV: 40% | Origin: Angers, France | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Zesty and fragrant, imagine peeling a perfectly ripe orange under the summer sun, with the oils spritzing through the air. A mix of sweet Valencia and bitter Curaçao oranges comes alive instantly.
Palate: Crisp and clean, yet bursting with flavor, vibrant orange peel, hints of spice, and a gentle sweetness that never cloys. It dances on the tongue with a silky texture and citrus-driven precision.
Finish: Long, fresh, and refreshingly dry. The orange oils linger with a slight herbal undertone, making it incredibly moreish.

Production Details:
Cointreau is crafted from a secret blend of dried sweet and bitter orange peels, carefully distilled to achieve clarity and intensity. Unlike many liqueurs, it uses no coloring, its clarity is natural. This high proof triple sec is double distilled in copper stills, giving it an aromatic purity and versatility that’s made it a bartender’s essential for over a century.

Whether it’s the soul of your Margarita, the elegance in a Cosmopolitan, or simply paired with soda and lime, Cointreau adds sophistication to every pour. Ideal for weekend cocktail nights, rooftop brunches, or impressing friends with a well made Sidecar.

Expert Notes:
Cointreau isn’t just a liqueur, it’s a foundation. Found in over 350 classic and modern cocktail recipes, it’s considered essential by the world’s best bartenders for its balance, power, and ability to elevate any drink.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve it chilled with fresh lime juice for a stripped-down Citrus Sour, or mix it into a classic Margarita (2 parts tequila, 1 part Cointreau, 1 part lime juice). For something refreshing and light, just add tonic water and a slice of orange.
