Cointreau Liqueur

The Original Triple Sec — The World's Most Versatile Liqueur

Cointreau has been crafting its iconic orange liqueur in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, France since 1849, when Édouard Cointreau perfected a proprietary blend of sweet and bitter orange peels distilled in copper pot stills. The result is a crystal-clear liqueur of extraordinary purity and intensity — bright, vibrant, and balanced in a way that no imitation has ever matched. It is the essential ingredient in more classic cocktails than any other liqueur in the world.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bright and fresh. Intense orange peel — both sweet and bitter — with a subtle floral note and a clean, crisp character.
• Palate: Smooth and velvety. Vibrant citrus intensity leads with a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness, and a clean neutrality that makes it exceptionally versatile.
• Finish: Crisp and clean. A hint of sweetness fades quickly, leaving a refreshing citrus warmth.
