LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The pinnacle of orange spirits. It is a technical masterpiece of distillation that manages to be both a powerful flavoring and a sophisticated sipper in its own right.

The Library Note

Created in 1875 by Édouard Cointreau in Angers, France, the recipe has remained unchanged for over a century. It was the first 'Triple Sec' (meaning three times as dry as existing liqueurs) and it defined the category. Today, it is an indispensable ingredient in over 350 classic cocktails.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Explosive fresh orange zest, citrus blossom, and a hint of spice.

THE PALATE

Instantly refreshing with a complex play of bitter and sweet orange, a silky mouthfeel, and a remarkably clean alcoholic cut.

THE FINISH

Long, dry, and intensely aromatic.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'Original Margarita': 1 oz Cointreau, 2 oz Blanco Tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice. Its unique dryness means it provides the flavor of orange without the cloying sugar of cheaper triple secs.
