Cointreau is a world-famous orange liqueur that has been a cornerstone of cocktail culture since 1849. Crafted in France, it’s made from a meticulous blend of sweet and bitter orange peels, resulting in a crystal-clear spirit with a perfectly balanced citrus flavor—fresh, aromatic, and never overly sweet.

What Makes Cointreau Special?

Unlike many orange liqueurs, Cointreau has a high alcohol content (40% ABV) and a clean, dry finish. This gives cocktails brightness and structure without weighing them down. Its versatility allows it to shine both as a supporting ingredient and as a featured spirit.

Cointreau is an essential component in some of the world’s most beloved drinks, including the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, Sidecar, and White Lady. It also works beautifully in modern spritzes, citrus-forward sours, and even dessert cocktails.
