Rémy Cointreau has unveiled the ‘Cocktail Cities Limited Edition Collection,’ a travel retail exclusive that reimagines Cointreau’s mixology legacy through a global lens. This destination-themed series invites travelers to explore the cultural and cocktail heritage of key international cities, blending iconic design with artisanal craft.
Showcased at major airport retail locations—including Sydney (Heinemann), Melbourne and Singapore (Lotte Duty Free), Paris (Lagardère), London Gatwick and Heathrow (Avolta), and Dubai (Dubai Duty Free)—the launch highlights Cointreau’s role in more than 500 classic cocktails. At the heart of each creation is the brand’s signature orange liqueur, crafted from a balanced blend of sweet and bitter orange peels.
Each bottle features symbolic design elements representing its respective city, paired with a signature cocktail: the ‘Sidecar’ (London), ‘Margarita’ (Sydney and Melbourne), ‘Singapore Sling' (Singapore), ‘Mimosa’ (Paris), and ‘Cosmopolitan’ (Dubai). As such, the collection merges visual storytelling with Cointreau’s enduring versatility and global appeal.
