Cointreau Tasting Notes From TheCocktailGeek.com

Nose: A pleasing balance of fresh and zingy orange oil with a more waxy and sweet, almost earthy character underneath. Hints of other citrus fruits, particularly lemon and grapefruit offer complexity although the neutral spirit base remains evident.

Neat: Don’t be fooled by this liqueur being a triple sec, the palate is intensely sweet, at least on the entrance as it dries a little towards the finish. A moreishly rounded profile of predominantly orange but with hints of lemon and nutmeg spice tails off on the finish to leave a mildly cloying note of sweetened freshly juiced orange.
