    This is a staple in any bar, we use this in 1 of every 3 drinks we mix. Think citrus plus excellent mixed into sangria!!!!! Big bottles always . Could only improve on design of bottle but then I'd probably not find it

    My husband and I love making margaritas at home and Cointreau is an absolute must in making delicious margaritas. The orange liquor flavour is beautiful and I love the bottle… looks great on the bar!

    Cointreau has an expensive price point for a liquer, but it is worth it. This premium liquer has a smooth orange flavored taste. It goes well with a variety of cocktails. My favorite drink to pair it with is a margarita. I don't buy Cointreau often because it is expensive, but when I do, it is a real treat.

    We made margaritas with this and it was such a difference using this over regular triple sec. It has a smooth orange taste and my husband and I both felt like it really elevated the taste of the drink. Will definitely buy again.

    Triple sec is a staple in margaritas and Cointreau is a classic. The flavor is perfect and balances well with tequila and lime. One of my favorites!

    Cointreau makes the cocktail. Smooth and deep. Depth and flavor add such a treat to your cocktails. Try a simple Vodka Rita with Cointreau and roses lime juice. Amazing

    Always love Cointreau as part of a bomb margarita or other tequila cocktail! Gives such fresh and clean flavor that is a bit more complex than a standard triple sec. Yum!

    Love Cointreau for its versatility in a variety of cocktails- from a simple session cocktail to a dynamo margarita. It was such a game changer to level up our at home cocktail bartending.

FAQs

Triple sec is a category of drinks — specifically, a group of dry orange liqueurs — and Cointreau is one of them. On its own, the term “triple sec” can be a bit confusing, as it refers to both a category of liqueurs and, more colloquially, to a family of inexpensive, low-quality orange liqueurs. That’s why it’s important to distinguish between Cointreau and triple sec: Cointreau is stronger, smoother, and has far more complexity to it than your average triple sec, with a smooth orange flavor that walks a fine line between sweetness and bitterness.
The abstract answer is that the ingredients of the margarita are totally up to you, the mixologist, the artist, the Picasso of liquor (Drink-asso?). However, in reality, you definitely need Cointreau instead of a cheap triple sec or orange liqueur. The main reason for this is that Cointreau promises a well-balanced margarita that doesn’t veer too strongly into either sweetness or bitterness. The difference between a Cointreau margarita and a standard triple sec margarita is obvious.
Cointreau is a versatile liqueur that goes well with a range of citrus juices, coffee or hot chocolate, hot or cold apple cider, or sour mix and club soda. You can also drink Cointreau with amaretto or dry sparkling wine, or mix it in a cocktail with some tangy lime juice, orange, ice, and sparkling water — this is the classic Cointreau Fizz cocktail. Don’t be afraid to try Cointreau straight, as well, because it’s got a lovely sweet flavor that’s great on its own.
Cointreau is one of the most recognizable and trusted names in the universe of orange liqueurs, so giving a bottle to someone as a gift is a great gesture. Cointreau is crafted in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou in France and is considered an essential ingredient in a wide range of cocktails — including, of course, the margarita. If your gift recipient enjoys mixing cocktails and having a colorful bottle of high-quality liqueur on their shelf, Cointreau won’t disappoint.
