Alcohols & Liqueurs
Substitutes for Cointreau in gelato
Cointreau is a premium French triple sec orange liqueur bottled at 40% ABV, made from sweet and bitter orange peel distillates. In gelato it is a flavoring and a powerful freezing-point depressant, adding sharp orange aroma while its high alcohol dramatically raises PAC and keeps the mix soft.
