Cointreau L’Unique is an iconic French orange liqueur produced in Angers from carefully selected sweet and bitter orange peels. Its character is based on precise distillation and a simple composition that, aside from orange essences, consists only of pure water, sugar, and neutral alcohol. With no added artificial flavors, its clean, intense, and naturally citrusy taste truly shines through.
Although it is housed in a distinctive amber-colored bottle, the liqueur itself is crystal clear. When mixed with water or ice, it may take on an opalescent hue, which is due to its high content of natural orange essences.
