COINTREAU

Since its creation in 1849, Cointreau has embodied the pioneering spirit and artisanal know-how of its founder. Balanced and crystalline, Cointreau liqueur has retained its original characteristics, which lie in the rigorous selection and marriage of sweet and bitter orange peels. A premium liqueur, its superior quality has made it a favorite of mixologists, earning it a place of choice in the world's most renowned bars. The proof is in the pudding: Cointreau is the key ingredient in over 350 cocktail creations. The Original Margarita: Today, Cointreau honors one of the most popular cocktails in the world: The Original Margarita. Invented in 1948 by Margaret Sames, the recipe is simple to prepare and has remained unchanged since its creation: Cointreau, blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, and a little salt on the rim of the glass. Cointreau and the Margarita are so inseparable that Margaret Sames had firmly declared: "A Margarita without Cointreau does not deserve its salt".
