Got a bottle of Cointreau and not sure how to use it up? Luckily, there are many stellar Cointreau drinks to choose from! Cointreau is an orange liqueur with a beautiful orange perfume flavor. While you can drink it straight, it’s most well known for being used in cocktails like the Margarita and Cosmopolitan. Cointreau is a type of triple sec, which means “triple distilled.” It was first invented in 1875, and now it’s sold all over the world! Around here we most often drink Cointreau in our classic margarita! But there are lots of other great drinks that use this citrus-forward, lightly sweet liqueur.
