Cocktails

A popular cocktail for Cointreau is known as the Wolverhampton Wonder, made from either a single or double measure of Cointreau and blackcurrant cordial. It is called this due to the orange taste and the blackcurrant, in reference to Wolverhampton Wanderers football teams' kit of orange and black. The cocktail was created in an Eastbourne pub called The Cavalier, but has spread in popularity to the Midlands where the name was coined.
Another simple yet popular cocktail is known as a Scoundrel, and consists of one measure of Cointreau, a splash of Coke and a single cube of ice. More ice detracts from the flavor, making it a 'fake scoundrel'. The cocktail was created at the award winning Rook and Gaskill pub in York.
Cointreau has also become very popular in premium Margaritas, often known as "Gold Margaritas". Cointreau replaces the Triple sec in the standard Margarita recipe and adds a more intense orange flavour.
