COINTREAU LIQUEUR (375ml)

Poured this into a classic Margarita last night and the orange flavor balanced the lime perfectly without being too sweet. The 375ml bottle is just the right size for my home bar.

The bottle's been gone for a week already—375ml doesn't last long when every margarita night turns into two. That French triple-sec taste is exactly what my Cosmopolitans needed, smooth and citrusy without being syrupy. Perfect for sipping on ice too, so it pulls double duty.

Not quite as smooth as some higher-end triple secs, but it does the job perfectly in a Cosmopolitan. The 375ml bottle is a nice size for trying it out without committing to a full liter.
