Cointreau is a crystal-clear, French triple sec orange liqueur known for its balanced sweet and bitter orange flavor, made from a blend of sweet and bitter orange peels, alcohol, water, and sugar. Produced in Angers, France, since 1849, it's a staple in cocktails like the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, and Sidecar, and can also be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or with sparkling water. Its complex aroma and taste come from distilling a proprietary mix of orange peels from around the world, resulting in a versatile spirit with over 40 aromatic notes.
