Description

Grand Marnier, a french liqueur, is a triple sec. A blend made from different cognacs, distilled with orange essences. Grand Marnier is 40% alcohol (80 proof). It is produced in several varieties, most of which can be consumed "neat" as a digestif and can be used in mixed drinks and desserts. Most recipes will require only small amounts for flavoring. If you do not have the resources or need to purchase a full size bottle of Grand Marnier®, most liquor stores sell single serving bottles for a reasonable price.

Cordon Rouge or "Red Ribbon" is the original Grand Marnier liqueur created in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle. It is consumed neat and is also used in cocktails and desserts

Cordon Jaune or "Yellow Ribbon" Grand Marnier is made with neutral grain spirit rather than cognac. It is used for mixed drinks and cooking purposes, such as Crêpes Suzette.

Cuvée du Centenaire , was first released in limited quantities in 1927 to commemorate the 100th anniversary. It is made with 25-year-old fine cognacs and is consumed neat. It is more expensive, at about US$145 per bottle.
