Created by The Breakers’ master sommelier Juan Gomez – originally from Mexico City – and Richard Lambert, of Rémy Cointreau – originally from Angers, France – the Cointreaurita is the perfect blend of Mexican independence with a French influence. The eclectic drink is also a favorite specialty cocktail on The Breakers’ Tapestry Bar menu.

Stop by The Tapestry Bar this weekend, or mix up a Cointreaurita at home!
