Cointreau, the crystal-clear orange liqueur founded in Angers, France, remains one of the world's most distinguished spirits with over 160 years of history. Renowned for its perfect balance of 100% all-natural sweet and bitter orange peels, Cointreau has a uniquely refreshing and complex taste — an aromatic feat owing its impact to a complex blend of orange peel essences, with a spectrum of more than 40 olfactive notes. As Master Distiller and the sixth generation to vouch for Cointreau's inimitable flavor, Carole Quinton safeguards the original characteristics introduced by Édouard Cointreau — a feat of balance, authenticity, and aromatic richness, preserved and reinvented since its creation.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Zesty, fresh, floral, and sweet — a captivating ode to orange.
Palate: A symphony of unexpected dualities — instant freshness yet lingering on the palate, harmonious yet intensely orange. In cocktails, Cointreau serves as a flavor amplifier, revealing the other ingredients while bringing balance, depth, and freshness.
How to Use: The essential ingredient of the Margarita, the Cosmopolitan, and the Sidecar — or the base spirit of the Cointreau Rickey.
