Cointreau is more than a triple sec, it is an orange liqueur distilled with a combination of sweet and bitter orange peel that enhances the flavour of cocktails. Crafted in Saint-Barthélemy-d’Anjou, France, it holds a special place in the history of the Margarita. The original Margarita cocktail was born when Dallas socialite Margarita Sames mixed her two favourite spirits, Cointreau and tequila, along with lime juice while vacationing in Acapulco in 1948. This timeless recipe has remained a beloved classic for over 75 years.
