CointreauTripleSecLiqueur(700ml)

Sans Towards the middle of the 1800’s, Edouard Cointreau’s son, Edouard fils, discovered a species of wild orange native to the Caribbean. Knowing the fruit could not survive the long ocean voyage back to France, Edouard had a quantity of the oranges peeled and the peel dried and sent on to France. On its arrival, the unusual scent of the peel stirred the imagination of Edouard’s father (oranges were not available in Europe at the time) and he began experimenting. He steeped the peel in brandies and through distillation combined the infusion with various local herbs and spices. The final result was an outstanding balance of aromas and flavours with a pleasant tart character.
