Description
A perfect balance between sweetness and freshness—this is the mantra of Cointreau’s flavor. A careful selection of sweet and bitter orange peels forms the soul of the Cointreau production process. Cointreau’s makers emphasize naturalness. Their meticulously chosen oranges are dried under the sun, allowing for optimal aroma and flavor extraction. The dried peels are soaked in pure alcohol, the fusion allowed to sit until the fruit’s core essence has permeated the blend.
The resulting elixir, full of fresh and zesty flavors, is then twice distilled in copper stills, yielding the crystal-clear liquid we know as Cointreau. It has an alcohol content of around 40%, and it’s flavor complexity contributes immensely to its multifaceted application.
