by Summer has finally surfaced here in Virginia. With that, comes intense heat. So I am always on the look out for a great refreshing cocktail. I was unpacking all of my liquor from our move and I found a bottle of Cointreau. Cointreau is a nice orange flavored spirit that is a kin to triple sec. I love this stuff. So I decided to create the classic cocktail “Cointreau Fizz”. It is pure Cointreau and lime.
Cointreau Fizz
Fill a glass with ice. Then add 1.5 oz of Cointreau, the juice of half a lime and top with seltzer.
Stir and serve.
