Expert's description

Cointreau Liqueur is a French orange liqueur from Cointreau, made from sweet and bitter orange peel, at 40% alcohol.

Cointreau was founded in 1849 by Edouard Cointreau in Angers, France, and the recipe has remained largely unchanged ever since. Compared with many other orange liqueurs (triple sec), Cointreau has a lower sugar content and a stronger, more concentrated orange flavour, which has made it a staple behind the bar in classics such as the Margarita and Cosmopolitan.
