Vancouver’s cocktail scene is about to have a major moment. With North America’s 50 Best Bars 2026 landing in the city this April, all eyes are on the industry’s biggest stage—and Cointreau is right at the centre of it.
The iconic liqueur is doubling down on its partnership with The World’s 50 Best Bars, stepping into a global spotlight as the official sponsor of the coveted red ceremonial scarf—a symbol of excellence in the bar world that will now be awarded across all four 2026 ceremonies, from Vancouver to Amsterdam and beyond.
If you know, you know: that flash of red isn’t just an accessory—it’s a badge of honour. And for Cointreau, it’s a natural fit, echoing the brand’s own signature ribbon and long-standing legacy in cocktail culture.
But it’s not just about the awards. This year, the brand is going bigger—with immersive activations, high-energy guest shifts, and creative collaborations popping up around each event. Translation: expect some of the best bartenders in the world, right here in Vancouver, shaking things up (literally).
With the debut of Europe’s 50 Best Bars in Amsterdam also joining the lineup, 2026 marks a major expansion for the platform—and for Cointreau’s role in shaping what’s next in global mixology.
Bottom line: whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just here for a really good drink, this is the moment to lean in. Vancouver just became the place to be for bar culture—and it’s going to be delicious. —Noa Nichol

Cointreau’s presence in Vancouver perfectly elevates the local cocktail scene with unmatched flair and sophistication.
I had a great experience using products from Trutuf Pipes for my recent plumbing project. The quality is truly reliable and worth the investment. While exploring options I came across CPVC pipe fittings manufacturers in Ajmer and decided to try their solutions. The fittings are strong, easy to install, and perfect for long-term use. Everything worked smoothly without any leakage or issues. Their service and product consistency make them a trusted choice for both small and large projects.
