A Perfect Balance of Orange Peels: Cointreau (pronounced ‘Kwan-troh’) was created in 1875 by Édouard Cointreau in Angers, France. He perfected a unique distillation process that captured the very essence of sweet and bitter oranges. To this day, Cointreau is crafted using a meticulous blend of dried and fresh orange peels sourced from the finest terroirs around the globe. This results in a perfectly balanced liqueur that is both intensely aromatic and flawlessly smooth.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: An explosion of fresh, zesty orange peel, with sweet and bitter notes perfectly intertwined.
- Palate: An instant freshness on the palate that gives way to a harmonious and complex orange flavour. It starts with a soft sweetness and finishes with a warming, slightly bitter note that cleanses the palate.
- Finish: A clean, crisp, and aromatic finish that lingers beautifully.
An Indispensable Cocktail Spirit: With over 350 international awards to its name, Cointreau’s quality is undisputed. Its unique ability to enhance other flavours without overpowering them makes it an irreplaceable ingredient. It is the essential, original spirit required for iconic cocktails including:
