Bottled at 80 proof, Cointreau Noir blends orange with cognac, inspired by Édouard Cointreau's early 20th-century Majestic cocktail recipe. Unlike triple sec, it has a brandy base.
While the regular version of Cointreau is pretty much the commercially available gold standard for Orange Liqueur/Triple Sec worldwide, this is an interesting attempt to take on Grand Marnier which is the dominant orange and cognac liqueur and bring it to a higher level.
