General Description

Cointreau
Cointreau is the universal standard for orange liqueur in serious cocktails. It's what bartenders reach for when a recipe calls for triple sec because the quality is consistent and the orange character is clean and pronounced without being syrupy. Unlike bargain triple secs that taste like orange candy, Cointreau delivers actual citrus peel complexity. It costs more than bottom-shelf alternatives, but it's the difference between a professional-tasting cocktail and a college-party mixer.
