Cointreau Spicy
Orange with a kick. Cointreau Spicy combines fresh orange liqueur with the warmth of natural jalapeño and chili. Made for one thing: a spicy Margarita without the hassle of fresh peppers.
The Margarita, with a kick
According to the brand, Cointreau Spicy is the first orange liqueur with a natural chili kick. Its base is the same as regular Cointreau: alcohol, sugar and orange peels. Natural notes of jalapeño and chili are added, creating a warm, spicy finish.
The idea is simple. To make a Spicy Margarita, you’d normally muddle fresh jalapeño in the shaker or make a chili syrup. With Cointreau Spicy, the kick is already in the bottle, perfectly measured. At 30% ABV, it’s a little lighter than regular Cointreau and Cointreau Noir, both of which are 40% ABV.
