the art of balance
LET’S MAKE THIS CRYSTAL-CLEAR…
Before you even take a sip, you first “taste” a cocktail with your eyes. The shape of the glass, the garnishes, the color composition – every element plays a part in the presentation.
The crystalline brilliance of Cointreau shows off the colors of the drink, enhancing the pleasure of a well-crafted cocktail. Édouard Cointreau labored for years to achieve the “crystal purity” of his liqueur, free of the orange tint typical of others then on the market.

The complex aromas of Cointreau heighten the harmony of spirits and other ingredients. While bringing its own expressive personality to the mix, the liqueur amplifies the flavors of a cocktail, giving the drink a surprisingly long, satisfying finish.
Cointreau makes a simple cocktail extraordinary. It turns a chance encounter into a memorable moment.
A UNIQUE LIQUEUR, SOURCE OF INFINITE COCKTAIL HARMONIES
It’s official:
Cointreau orange liqueur infuses more than
500 cocktail recipes,
long drinks or short. Cointreau came early to the cocktail scene and never left.
From the 1800s to the present day, from Tokyo’s Star Bar Ginza to New York’s PDT, London’s Savoy Bar or the Quinary in Hong Kong, Cointreau inspires bartenders everywhere to dream up ever-more-inventive cocktails. Because life is richer when you mix!
Speaking about mix, Cointreau Noir, born in 2008, is the result of the perfect balance between Cointreau’s signature sweet and bitter orange peel essences and Rémy Martin’s cognac. Inspired by the Majestik, a recipe Édouard Cointreau developed in the early 20th century, the blend marries the citrus freshness of orange with the velvety caress of cognac.
