Zizi Coin-Coin: Cointreau & Citrus Cooler
Bright, boozy, and brilliantly simple — the Zizi Coin-Coin mixes crisp lemon juice with the bold orange kick of Cointreau. A refreshing citrus cocktail that’s perfect for warm weather sipping or easy party pours.
Bright, zesty, and just a little cheeky, the Zizi Coin-Coin is a minimalist citrus cocktail with a French twist. With only two ingredients — Cointreau and lemon juice — it delivers punchy flavor without fuss.
What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- Cointreau – brings a clean, orange-peel sweetness with just enough bite.
- Fresh Lemon Juice – cuts through with sharp acidity and freshness.
Equipment:
- Rocks glass
- Bar spoon
Citrus With a Twist
The magic here is in the balance. Cointreau’s soft, orangey warmth contrasts beautifully with the fresh lemon’s zing. The result? A clean, crisp cooler you can mix in seconds.
Substitutions & Variations
- Swap lemon for lime for a tarter profile.
- Try triple sec if you're out of Cointreau — less smooth but still citrusy.
- Want more punch? Add a splash of soda for a light spritz.
Tips & Tricks
- Serve over cracked ice to chill quickly without watering it down.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or lime wheel for visual pop.
- Make it a party pitcher: scale up and stir in a carafe just before serving.
