Cointreau  is a French clear liqueur made from bitter and sweet citrus varieties. It is often used by confectioners to flavor creams, biscuits, macarons and other confectionery products. 

 

Liqueur can elevate an ordinary dessert to an exquisite one thanks to its aromatic and taste qualities.

The cake contains apricot confit that is harmoniously combined with light orange notes thanks to the sweet-sour aftertaste of tropical fruits.
