Cointreau is an orange-flavored liqueur similar to triple sec and to Grand Marnier. It was invented in 1849 by Edouard Cointreau, a confectioner from France. He concocted a blend of sweet and bitter orange peels.


Cointreau is used for cooking as well as for drinking. With an alcohol content of about 40% it can be used as an aperitif or for other purposes. It is tasteful enough to be consumed without any addition or mix. It is strong enough to be drunk with care.
