France - This unique orange liqueur is produced according to a secret recipe that has remained unchanged for more than 130 years. Sun-dried orange peels of both bitter and sweet oranges are macerated and then distilled in copper stills to extract the essential oils that are the key to this exceptional liqueur. The other natural ingredients (alcohol, sugar, water, and assorted herbs) found in Cointreau contribute to its rich aromas, creamy roundness, and fine balance.
