Grand Marnier (1ltr)

Orange liqueur from the Cognac region of France, Grand Marnier blends cognac with bitter orange essence to create a spirit that straddles the line between digestif and mixologist's tool. The house was founded in the 19th century and remains one of the most recognizable expressions of its kind, made by steeping Haitian and Mexican orange peels in a base spirit, then marrying the result with cognac for depth and structure.

The character is bright and citrus-forward, with underlying warmth from the cognac base and a gentle bittersweet finish that prevents it from tipping into syrup territory. Sip it neat after dinner, pour it into a cocktail (Sidecars and Grand Marnier Margaritas are classics), or use it to add complexity to desserts. The balance of fruit and spirit makes it equally at home in a snifter or a mixing glass.
