PRODUCT STORY
Cointreau distillery opened in 1849, in Angers, France, founded by two brothers: Adolphe and Edouard-Jean Cointreau. In 1875, after a long quest for the perfect orange liqueur, Edouard (son of Edouard-Jean) perfected his unique recipe of orange liqueur : Cointreau, the world’s first Triple Sec was born ! The secret recipe remains unchanged ever since. The finest sweet and bitter orange peels are still carefully selected to create the definitive orange liqueur, all-natural and crystal-clear. Today, Cointreau is born under the watchful eye of Bernadette Langlais, Master Distiller. Thanks to its perfect balance, Cointreau has been in the original recipes of the most internationally renowned cocktails (Margarita, Cosmopolitan, Side car, White lady,…) since they have been created

PRODUCT STORY
The Master Distiller (Bernadette Langlais) created a new expression of Cointreau to offer a refreshing twist on the classic orange liqueur. To make this blend truly unique, she selected the fruitiest and most flavoursome blood oranges in Corsica. Corsican unique mild Mediterranean climate and fertile soil gives the blood orange its vitality, intense aromas and exquisite taste. Blood oranges are harvested perfectly ripe in a limited area and season making them a precious fruit. Their peel contains high concentrations of the essential oils which bring distinctive vibrant and fruity notes.
