Cointreau is made with the peel of bitter oranges from the Carribbean, sweet orange peel from Spain, neutral alcohol, sugar and water.An aroma of fresh and zesty mandarin orange zest with a touch of naval orange oil and a faint waxy overtone. Deeper notes of preserved lemon and a touch of spiced honey.The taste explodes with zesty, bright orange and lemon with undertones of spice, nutmeg and cinnamon with boiled lemon sweets. Very refined and clean.
