Because…“A Margarita made without Cointreau is not worth its salt” – Margaret Sames
Cointreau has been inseparable from margarita since its creation in 1948 in Acapulco, Mexico. Margaret “Margarita” Sames, a wealthy American socialite known for hosting notoriously lavish parties with extravagant twists, created a new cocktail for one of her soirées by mixing two of her favourite spirits: tequila and Cointreau, a liqueur crafted using sweet and bitter orange peel essence. An immediate success, the drink came to be known as a “margarita” and has gone on to become a staple in bars and homes alike.
