About this product
Vibrant. Versatile. Indispensable.
Since 1849, Cointreau has been at the heart of some of the world’s most celebrated cocktails. Born in Angers, France, this triple sec liqueur is crafted from a meticulous blend of sweet and bitter orange peels, creating a spirit that is as timeless as it is versatile. Bright, zesty, and perfectly balanced, Cointreau is both a bartender’s essential and a connoisseur’s delight.
Its clarity and purity have made it a staple in classics like the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, and Sidecar, while its elegant flavour profile means it can also be enjoyed neat, over ice, or in simple long drinks. Every sip is a harmonious dance of sweetness and bitterness, delivering an unmistakable burst of citrus that lifts cocktails and palates alike. For those in Ireland who love to entertain at home, Cointreau is the perfect way to bring a touch of French sophistication to the glass.
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.
