Cointreau is adding a touch of elegance and refinement to holidays. Through a collaboration with the prestigious Design Laboratory at Central Saint Martins College, the iconic brand releases two specially designed bottles, just in time for the gift-giving season. Inspired by an excursion in the luxuriant Jardin des Hesperides, this collection is a magnificent celebration of orange in all its forms.
The perfect holiday gift
TWO BESPOKE EDITIONS FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS
ORANGE LIMITED EDITION
The Limited Edition is a glass marvel. Featuring etched oranges, ribbed leaves and coiled roots interspersed throughout, the monochrome design lets the warm amber color of the bottle take center stage. The traditional copper cap also gets an orange makeover, in keeping with the color scheme. The orange grove pattern is precise, modern, and refined; the elements almost appear to be in motion, guiding their viewer on a sensory journey.
THE SELECTIVE EDITION
A true collector’s item, The Selective Edition is an exclusive capsule release of only 1,000 bottles, featuring a gold iteration of the orange grove label. This gilded version is also a nod to the mythological “golden apple.” Topped with an ornate, perfume-inspired square cap and encased in an orange box with a fabric interior, it is the pièce de résistance of the collection. The Selective Edition is the epitome of the holiday aesthetic.
THE DESIGN LABORATORY AT CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS
“Inspired by the passion found within each bottle of cointreau, we created a unique limited edition, inviting the audience to step into the recipe of the spirit itself - and to celebrate the magic harmony of the ingredients”
Boris Thuery, creative director of the Design Laboratory
THE ORANGE, A PRECIOUS FRUIT
“In the four corners of the world,” according to the expression dear to Edouard Cointreau, the taste and aromatic qualities of the orange peel continues to shine thanks to the authenticity, balance, and richness of Cointreau liqueur.
THE ORANGE, A PRECIOUS FRUIT
When he returned from the War of 1870, Edouard Cointreau embarked on a journey that would last a year. First to meet the great distillers of Europe, then to discover the best orange varieties, the subtlest aromas, the most trusted producers. He travelled through Portugal, the coasts of Africa, then India, China, and finally South America. In southern Spain, South Africa and the Caribbean, he finally found the varieties of sweet and bitter oranges he was looking for. By creating his renowned liqueur, he developed an absolute expertise in orange, revealed in all its subtlety and restored it to its former glory.
