As an orange liqueur with quality & production requirements, Cointreau is more than a triple sec. Why? Simply because a triple sec is the generic name used for any orange-flavoured spirit, while an “orange liqueur,” like Cointreau, actually goes a step further: as an officially recognised spirit category, there are certain production and quality requirements of the exceptional richness of 40+ aromas, coming from the highest quality sweet and bitter orange peels from the world’s finest terroirs, and 170 years+ of know-how—all resulting in a perfectly balanced cocktail. Thanks to an age-old expertise as Liquorist-Distiller, unique organoleptic qualities, and the Art of Cointreau (Art of Selection, Art of Harmony and Art of Distillation), Cointreau is an orange liqueur in a league of its own.
