Cointreau triple sec liqueur 40%, 0,7 L

Cointreau liqueur is the creation of Adolphe Cointreau, a confectioner inspired by the French Industrial Revolution era, who decided to expand the family business with a range of liqueurs. In a short time, he was joined by his brother Edouard-Jean Cointreau, and in 1857 the first recipe for the famous orange liqueur appears in the distillery's documents.

In 1885, Édouard Cointreau managed to create a perfectly balanced liqueur, three times more concentrated and less sweet than those existing at that time. With this product, the Cointreau company made itself known during the Belle Époque period. Starting with the 1920s, the company reached a period of maturity by popularizing the brand and exporting its products worldwide.

For decades, Cointreau distillers have been using the same production techniques, handed down from generation to generation. For the Cointreau expressions, oranges with intense aromas, from different varieties, are selected and mixtures of ingredients are made that give the final product a perfectly balanced taste. For the fine spirit, the distillers use 19 copper stills, similar to those used by Édouard Cointreau more than a century ago. 

APPEARANCE: A perfectly clear liqueur. When added to cocktails, it becomes opalescent thanks to the high concentration of orange essence. 

SMELL: Cointreau offers an amazing aromatic experience, inspired by the essences extracted from the orange peel. Enjoyed dry, imbibe with the fresh perfume of flowers and the spectrum composed of more than 40 olfactory notes, arranged in an ode dedicated to the orange. 

TASTE: To taste, Cointreau is a symphony of different aromas, caught in an unexpected order: it has an instant freshness, and a persistence on the palate, it has a diverse range of notes, but the general impression is marked by orange. Cointreau is a drink suitable for cocktails, where it brings intensity, amplifies the flavors of the ingredients, offers balance, depth and freshness.   

FINISH: Long, with notes of spices and orange juice.
