Still following Edouard\'s 19th Century recipe Cointreau is a wonderfully well balance liqueur taking its cues from both sweetness and refreshment. ### Product Description The brothers Edouard Jean and Adolphe Cointreau had previously worked in confectionary and cake making before finally opening their distillery in 1849. It wasn\'t until 1875 though that the liqueur took on the Orange based flavour that we recognise today which was created under the watchful eye of Edouard Jean\'s son, Edouard. Tasting Notes Sweet and refreshing
