Cocktails with Cointreau
Recipes that specify Cointreau — Corpse Reviver No. 2 and Singapore Sling — rather than generic triple sec.
When a recipe names Cointreau, we keep it distinct from triple sec in the pantry. These drinks expect that drier orange-liqueur profile.
Cointreau cocktail FAQ
Is Cointreau just expensive triple sec?
It is a specific orange liqueur at 40% ABV. Triple sec will mix, but Corpse Reviver No. 2 is usually built with Cointreau.
What else is in a Corpse Reviver No. 2?
Equal parts gin, Lillet Blanc, Cointreau, and lemon, with an absinthe rinse. Singapore Sling uses Cointreau in a longer gin-and-pineapple build.
