📜 History

The Cointreau Fizz was created by Jean Lupoïu, a French bartender, in Paris in the early 1950s. Lupoïu devised the drink as a simple showcase for Cointreau orange liqueur, pairing it with fresh lime juice and soda water in a ratio of two parts Cointreau to one part lime to three parts soda. Cointreau later adopted the formula as a signature serve, and the drink appears on the brand's official cocktail list. Its three-ingredient simplicity and low alcohol content have made it a popular aperitif choice in European café culture and, more recently, a staple on health-conscious cocktail menus worldwide.
