Cointreau changes everything!

Cointreau is a crystal clear Triple Sec created in France in 1885. It’s an essential for any bar, being at the heart of more than 500 cocktails, including some of the world’s most celebrated cocktails the Margarita, the Cosmopolitan and the Sidecar.

Cointreau’s flavour profile is a symphony of unexpected dualities: It has an instant freshness yet lingers on the palate, is a harmonious blend of nuanced notes yet remains intensely orange. In cocktails, Cointreau serves as a flavour amplifier, helping reveal the other ingredients while bringing balance, depth, and freshness to the mix.

Appearance:
Crystal clear with remarkable brightness. Droplets form on the sides of the glass suggest an extraordinary smooth richness

Nose:
On the nose, Cointreau releases fresh zesty notes, bitter orange with a touch of lime and mint. Floral notes of orange flower, rose and lavender are also present on a deeper layer. Rounder, fruity notes of sweet oranges, bergamot and lemon follow through, with a touch of candied fruit. Spicy notes of pepper are present when you swirl Cointreau in the glass, with cardamom and green tea aromas.

Palate:
After a first sip of Cointreau to train your taste buds, take another sip, and let yourself be surprised by the Cointreau kick and freshness. Silky, coating the palate with a perfect balance of orange zest and sweet oranges. This orange explosion brings you to an orange tree orchard. Cointreau shows an extraordinarily long finish, with gentle lingering spices and a warm mouth feel.
