We found this 3/4 pint bottle in my in-laws' liquor cabinet; we figure 30 years because that is the last time we had a dessert and demi-tasse gathering at their house. It was opened then; perhaps we used three or four shots that evening. I find crystalized sugar under the metal screw on top; otherwise the remaining liquid appears to be clear and clean. I'm not an expert on liqueurs ... would this still be good for cooking or baking?

Cointreau can stay almost endlessly - unopened or opened. The alcohol and sugar acts as a preservative. It will lose some of its flavor though once opened and a fews years into its life.

It doesn't really have an expiration date per-say. As long as it hasn't dried out or become sludge it is fine. It may have even improved over time with the flavors blending and mellowing.

It's still 100% fine...
I use it in Kamikazes and Jello-Shooters...
