With an exceptional citrus aroma and an instantly fresh taste, Cointreau is at the heart of 500+ celebrated cocktails including The Original Margarita and The Cosmopolitan. Cointreau has won more than 300 international awards ever since its birth. In the 19th century, Cointreau became the essential ingredient of many classic cocktails, including The Original Margarita, The Cosmopolitan, and The Sidecar. Today, the 6th generation of the Founder’s family represented by Alfred Cointreau is still active in the living heritage of the House.
Cointreau’s flavor profile is a symphony of unexpected dualities: It has an instant yet lingering freshness on the palate, is a harmonious blend of nuanced notes yet remains intensely orange. In cocktails, Cointreau serves as a flavor amplifier, helping reveal the other ingredients while bringing balance, depth, and freshness to the mix.
