Ingredientes

Instrucciones

Pour 5cl of Cointreau on ice, add 2cl of fresh lemon (or lime) juice, stir gently, and finally add slices of lemon/lime in glass.

Citrus Refreshing

El Zizi Coin-Coin es un sencillo cóctel de frente cítrico construido sobre Cointreau y jugo de limón (o lima) fresco, servido sobre hielo en una copa de margarita y adornado con rodajas de limón o lima. El Cointreau, el premier triple sec francés elaborado con pieles de naranja dulce y amarga, se exhibe aquí como el destilado principal en lugar de un modificador secundario, demostrando la profundidad del licor cuando se le da un papel protagonista. El resultado es una bebida limpia, intensamente a naranja y cítrico.

History & Origins

Zizi Coin-Coin is a French cocktail closely associated with Cointreau, the orange liqueur produced in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, Pays de la Loire, since 1875. The name 'Coin-Coin' is a French onomatopoeia for a duck's quack, and it also plays on 'Cointreau' — Zizi is a colloquial French nickname. The drink was developed as a signature serve to showcase Cointreau's quality as a standalone cocktail ingredient. Its precise origin is disputed within the brand's history.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Intense fresh orange peel from the Cointreau with bright lemon or lime citrus tartness. Palate: Sweet and citrus-forward, with Cointreau's complex orange character — both sweet and bitter peel notes — complemented by fresh lemon's tartness; the drink is clean and straightforward, allowing Cointreau's quality to speak for itself. Finish: Dry and citrusy with lingering orange peel and a clean lime or lemon note.

Pro Tip

Use a high-quality fresh lemon or lime and stir gently rather than shaking to preserve Cointreau's delicate aromatics and prevent cloudiness.
