If you read this blog you should know by now how much I love Cointreau, a terrific orange liqueur hailing from Angers.

They are celebrating the Roaring Twenties over the festive period with the Golden Age of Cointreau – limited edition bottle – a nod to the golden era. The bottle is gorgeous, displaying Art Deco curves and vibe. It’s a must in any cocktail cabinet.
And talking about cocktails, Cointreau has more than 350 cocktail recipes. Some were created in the golden age, the 1920s, an era when the most famous cocktails using Cointreau were developed in iconic bars in London, Paris, and further afield.
