1
Prepare the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. Once dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool.
2
Infuse the Orange Zest
Once the sugar syrup has cooled, add the fresh orange zest to the syrup. Let it steep for about 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.
3
Combine Ingredients
After the infusion period, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the orange zest. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strained syrup, Cointreau, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
4
Add the Alcohol
Slowly stir in the neutral spirit into the mixture until well combined.
5
Bottle and Store
Pour the finished Cointreau into a clean glass bottle. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 24 hours before use to enhance the flavors.
