About this product
Vibrant. Versatile. Indispensable.
A global icon and a bartender’s essential, Cointreau is the original triple sec — a crystal-clear orange liqueur made from a meticulous blend of sweet and bitter orange peels. First created in 1849 in Angers, France, Cointreau has become a cornerstone of cocktail culture, prized for its purity, balance, and aromatic intensity.
Unlike many other orange liqueurs, Cointreau is dry rather than sweet, offering bright citrus notes with a refined, clean finish. Its 40% ABV also gives it strength and depth that shines both as a cocktail ingredient and a sipping liqueur.
Why we love it:
Cointreau is more than an ingredient — it’s an essential piece of cocktail history. With its perfectly balanced profile, high proof, and clean citrus core, it elevates classics and modern creations alike. A must-have on any bar shelf.
