The story behind it
The maker
Founded in 1849 by brothers Adolphe and Édouard-Jean Cointreau, the brand achieved legendary status when Édouard Cointreau perfected the triple sec recipe in 1875. The house remains a symbol of French art de vivre and continues to be the definitive choice for classic cocktail creation.
How it is made
Distilled in Angers, France, Cointreau utilizes a proprietary blend of sweet and bitter orange peels sourced from around the world. These peels are macerated and copper pot-distilled to capture the purest, highly aromatic essential oils.
