The history section is completely absurd. Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjamin Dickson ( talk I'll leave it to the experts to figure out where but it looks really unprofessional at the moment. Thus there is a redundancy here, somewhere along the line I feel an edit is needed. Whilst this does clear things up, if you follow the reference through to Cointreau it says that it is a "brand of Triple Sec". I hope that helps clear things up a little. Some people disagree with including Cointreau in the description of this drink (it has been removed from the article several times in the past), but it is common (and even internationally standardized in the IBA version). The relative sweetness of the alcohol would alter the sensation, with several people commenting that Grand Marnier makes the drink too sweet and cloying. As noted in the article, any decent orange flavored spirit could probably be substituted. Since the IBA based its version of the Cosmo on Cecchini's version, Cointreau became the international standard, even though Triple Sec was the more traditional mixer. Cointreau became a part of this drink when Cecchini used it in his version. This is probably because it is a more common and less expensive mixer at bars in the U.S. Triple Sec appears to be the ingredient used in the "original" versions of the cocktail.

Grand Marinier and Cointreau are single orange brandy. Triple Sec is a blend of orange, lemon, and another citrus brandy, I think tangerine. In the section about variations it says that you can use Triple Sec instead, but isn't Cointreau a variation of Triple Sec (like Grand Manier, etc)? - 90.184.164.224 16:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC) Reply Consider joining this project's Assessment task force.Provide photographs and images for Category:Wikipedia requested images of food.For a complete list of banners for WikiProject Food and drink and its child projects, select here.
