To celebrate Christmas, Cointreau have created a chic bottle pourer using their signature toucan to compliment your bottle of Cointreau just in time for the festive season. The Christmas pack comes in a tropical box and includes a bottle of Cointreau as well as the brass pourer – ideal for the Margarita lover in your life.
Packaged in a unique deep amber bottle, Cointreau is an aromatic feat and owes this impact to a complex blend of orange peel essences. Zesty, fresh, floral and sweet with an instant freshness, lingering on the palate, it is a harmonious blend of nuanced notes yet remains intensely orange.
In cocktails, Cointreau serves as a flavour amplifier, helping reveal the other ingredients while bringing balance, depth, and freshness to the mix.
