Cointreau is an icon in the liqueur industry and is made from orange peels. These peels are dried in the sun and distilled. Cointreau is the epitome of Triple Sec liqueurs. You can drink Cointreau in various ways; delicious pure, or with an ice cube, with coffee or with a dollop of whipped cream in the coffee. The bittersweet taste of the orange liqueur is also delicious in cocktails, such as the Cosmopolitan.
