Cointreau

Cointreau is a renowned French orange liqueur that has been a staple in the world of mixology since its creation in 1849. Distilled from a blend of sweet and bitter orange peels, it offers a crystal-clear appearance and a complex, aromatic profile. The nose is filled with bright citrus aromas, while the palate delivers a perfect balance of zesty orange flavors and subtle sweetness, leading to a clean, crisp finish. Cointreau is a versatile liqueur, essential in classic cocktails such as the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, and Sidecar, and can also be enjoyed neat or over ice as an aperitif.
