Cointreau

Open 1 month Heavy orange peel and oil, light orange juice, and spicy citrusy ethanol. Surprisingly light and sweet on the tongue, hints of caramel and cinnamon bun, sweet candied oranges, and light ethanol. I'm honestly shocked how dessert-like this palate is considering the nose. The orange peel aroma is absent and in its place is a light high quality orange juice. I'm getting more into cocktails so I'm buying liqueurs that I never buy. I figured why not track them on here to see what I like over time. I thought this would just taste like an orange peel based on the nose, but it is sweet and delicious on the tongue. I had no idea it would be such a great sipper, but I am saving the rest for mixing.

Lots of orange. Of course. Orange peel and orange pulp. But it’s got some heat too. Alcohol more on the palate but still evident on the nose

Triple sec à base d'orange, amertume bien présente et s'appreciera mieux en cocktail bien dosés.
