Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge
Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is an orange liqueur made from a blend of bitter orange essence and French cognac. Unlike standard triple sec, it offers more depth and less sweetness, resulting in a liqueur that is smooth, warm, and refined with a subtle sharpness.
This liqueur performs well in cocktails, maintaining its character rather than blending into the background. It is particularly effective in recipes like the Grand Margarita, especially when paired with reposado tequila, adding a complementary balance of oak and citrus. Grand Marnier can also be served neat as a digestif, delivering a consistent and well-rounded flavor.

ServingSuggestions
Grand Marnier is ideal in a Grand Margarita, mixed with tequila and lime juice and served in a salt-rimmed glass. It also works well in a classic Sidecar, over ice, or as a small addition to hot beverages such as coffee or a hot toddy for added flavor. Its versatility allows it to be used in both classic and experimental drinks.
