Grand Marnier is a very popular French orange-flavoured liqueur that can be enjoyed on its own or mixed in a wide variety of cocktails. Created in 1880, Grand Marnier is also frequently used in deserts, such as Crêpes Suzette, "crêpes au Grand Marnier", or Crème brûlée. Grand Marnier is a close relative of cognac. Featuring 40% alcohol content, it is made from a blend of distilled essence of tropical bitter orange and of different cognacs. Ths produces a bright topaz coloured liqueur with gold and amber tints. This zesty, citrusy liqueur provides a rich, smooth flavour to cocktails, making it an essential ingredient for any bar.
