Tasting notes
APPEARANCE: Cointreau is no stranger to the unexpected. Its deep amber bottle conceals a visual surprise: a perfectly transparent liqueur. When mixed, the crystalline liqueur becomes opalescent, a physical testament to the high concentration of orange essence. AROMA: Cointreau is an aromatic feat and owes this impact to a complex blend of sweet and bitter orange peel essences. Zesty, fresh, floral, sweet… With a spectrum of more than 40 aromatic notes, Cointreau is a captivating ode to orange on its own and an enhancer of other flavors when mixed. TASTE: Cointreau’s flavor profile is a symphony of unexpected dualities: It has an instant yet lingering freshness on the palate, is a harmonious blend of nuanced notes yet remains intensely orange. In cocktails, Cointreau serves as a flavor amplifier, helping reveal the other ingredients while bringing balance, depth, and freshness to the mix.
