Cointreau
Cointreau is an orange-flavored liqueur similar to triple sec and to Grand Marnier produced in Saint Barthélémy d'Anjou near Angers, France. It was invented in 1849 by Edouard Cointreau, a confectioner from Angers. He concocted a blend of sweet and bitter orange peels.
Cointreau is used for cooking as well as for drinking. With an alcohol content of about 40% it can be used as an aperitif or for other purposes. It is tasteful enough to be consumed without additions. It is strong enough to be drunk with care. Cointreau are sometimes used in B-52 coctails.
