Cointreau 40% 0,7L
Product characteristics
Cointreau was created in Angers by Édouard Cointreau in 1875, combining sweet and bitter orange peels distilled in copper stills to produce a triple sec liqueur of exceptional clarity and aromatic intensity. The brand remains a benchmark for orange liqueurs, balancing sweetness and bitterness with no artificial flavourings, and playing a foundational role in world-class cocktails and bar traditions. It is a choice for those who appreciate classic cocktails and natural, expressive citrus aromas.
Serve chilled neat or with a large ice cube in a tumbler, or use as the definitive orange element in cocktails such as the Margarita, Cosmopolitan or Sidecar. Its crisp orange profile is also a superb partner to creamy desserts (vanilla panna cotta, white chocolate mousse), citrus-based tarts and light goat cheeses, where the citrus-bitterness contrast refreshes the palate.
