NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cointreau, the iconic orange liqueur, is teaming up with Aubrey Plaza to launch a new creative campaign where the actor insists that the only way to enjoy a Margarita is the MargaRight way, and that is with Cointreau, of course.
Who better to show you MargaRight from MargaWrong than the famously irreverent Aubrey Plaza, who is known for her fearless honesty and unparalleled wit. “I love Margaritas - and the only way to make them MargaRight starts with three ingredients: Cointreau, tequila and fresh lime juice,” said Plaza. "Otherwise, it’s just MargaWrong.” Plaza continued, “This summer, you’ll only catch me ordering Margaritas MargaRight, and Cointreau will always be at any party of mine.”
Cointreau is an essential ingredient in The Original Margarita, and has been for 75 years, since Dallas socialite Margarita Sames created the recipe in 1948. In celebration of its 75th anniversary, Cointreau debuts today its largest creative campaign to-date across connected TV, digital, and social platforms. Captured in both home entertaining and bar and restaurant settings, Cointreau’s summer campaign creatively captures a comedic tone alongside its elevated style. The campaign has a range of video spots and photo stills showcasing how Margaritas should be enjoyed all summer long, always with Cointreau.

“Cointreau has a history of cinematic storytelling with continued investment in marketing and partnering with top-tier celebrity talent, now including Aubrey Plaza,” said Nicolas Beckers, President and CEO at Rémy Cointreau America. “We want to continue to invite consumers to enjoy our brand wherever they are, and Aubrey is the perfect partner to showcase how three simple ingredients - Cointreau, tequila and fresh lime juice - are all you need to make your summer and Margarita MargaRight.”
As Margarita Sames once said, “a Margarita without Cointreau is not worth its salt.” Whether you’re ordering one at a bar or shaking it up at home, make your Margarita MargaRight and head to Cointreau.com to learn more.
