COINTREAU

Cointreau, the original Triple Sec, is at the heart of many classic cocktails. The original margarita was the result of a chic socialite, Margaret ‘Margarita’ Sames, mixing her favourite spirits together until she made the perfect drink while entertaining at home. In 1948 in Acapulco, Mexico, the Margarita was born, made with two of her favourites: Tequila and Cointreau. “A Margarita without Cointreau is not worth its salt,” Margaret Sames, 1948.

VEUVE CLIQUOT ROSÉ

Madame Clicquot created the first blended Rosé in 1818 by adding some red wine to Yellow Label Champagne. The result was Veuve Clicquot Rosé, a fruity and full-bodied expression of the Veuve Clicquot style. Today, we continue to celebrate her audacious spirit, as the first woman to establish herself as such a leading female figure in the business world. And to all of the mothers in the world, Happy Mother’s Day.
