As the leaves begin to change colors and the air turns crisper, it’s time to bid farewell to the carefree days of summer and usher in the flavors of fall. What better way to do so than by indulging in some exquisite fall cocktails that perfectly capture the essence of the season? Introducing three delightful cocktail recipes featuring Grand Marnier, a brand celebrated for its commitment to craftsmanship and the fusion of cognac and orange liqueur.
Before we dive into the tantalizing cocktail recipes, let’s take a moment to appreciate the star of the show – Grand Marnier. This renowned liqueur has been enchanting palates since 1880, when it was first created by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle. Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, the flagship expression, combines the intense flavor of tropical bitter orange with the character of cognac. The recipe, passed down through generations, has remained unchanged, resulting in a liqueur with a formidable 40% ABV (51% cognac and 49% orange liqueur). Grand Marnier Louis Alexandre, on the other hand, pays tribute to the brand’s founder by blending VSOP cognac with bitter orange liqueur. This exceptional Cuvée boasts 40% ABV (82% cognac and 18% orange liqueur).
