Cointreau Recipes
Cointreau (pronounced “kwan-troh”) is a colorless, orange-flavored liqueur. It’s a type of triple sec, but it’s stronger and smoother in flavor than name-brand Triple Sec.
When buying cointreau for making cocktails, I recommend sticking with Cointreau brand cointreau (hey, at least that’s easy to remember!).
Acceptable cointreau substitutes are: Triple Sec, Grand Marnier, or Orange Curaçao.
However, my preferred substitute would be Grand Marnier. I don’t recommend triple sec or bottom shelf orange curaçao. Higher quality orange liqueur matters when making your cocktails!
