Best Cointreau Cocktails

The benchmark orange liqueur. Clear, intensely orange-flavoured, and 40% ABV — it adds backbone to cocktails as well as sweetness. A core ingredient in dozens of classics.

1

Margarita

Cointreau is the correct choice here — cheaper triple sec makes a noticeably worse drink.

Ingredients

  • 50ml tequila
  • 25ml Cointreau
  • 25ml lime juice
  • salt rim
2

Cosmopolitan

Shake hard, strain into a chilled Martini glass. Pink, elegant, wildly underrated.

Ingredients

  • 40ml citrus vodka
  • 15ml Cointreau
  • 15ml lime juice
  • 30ml cranberry juice
3

White Lady

A Prohibition-era classic. Dry shake first for that silky foam, then shake with ice.

Ingredients

  • 40ml gin
  • 20ml Cointreau
  • 20ml lemon juice
  • 1 egg white
