Cointreau
Rich citrus aroma with the mix of bitter and sweet orange peels providing a perfect combination.
Here are all the cocktails that you can make with this ingredient:
-
- Breakfast Martini
- A well balanced martini, and you must use a good sharp marmalade to make this one work.
- 2 shots Plymouth gin
- 1 shot Cointreau
- 1 spoon Orange marmalade
- 1 shot Lemon juice
- Garnish: Orange zest twist
-
- Cosmopolitan
- There are endless variations on the cosmo, but this one really benefits from the extra complexity of the orange bitters and the cordial.
- 1 shot Absolut Citron
- 1 shot Cointreau
- 1 1/2 shots Cranberry juice
- 1/2 shot Lime juice
- 1/4 shot Lime cordial
- 4 dashes Fee Brothers orange bitters
- Garnish: Flamed orange zest twist
-
- Dandy Cocktail
- An easier drinking variation on the Manhattan, the Dubonnet really marries well with the bourbon.
- 1 1/2 shots Woodford Reserve Bourbon
- 1 1/2 shots Dubonnet Red
- 1/2 shot Cointreau
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
- Garnish: Orange and lemon zest twists
-
- Lucien Gaudin
- Apparently Lucien Gaudin was an Olympic French fencer in the 1920s. I have no idea why this cocktail is named after him. Dial the Campari up or down depending on how much you like it.
- 1 1/2 shots Plymouth gin
- 3/4 shot Cointreau
- 3/4 shot Campari
- 3/4 shot Dry vermouth
- Garnish: Orange zest twist
