Grand Marnier - The Perfect Ingredient
Ah..Grand Marnier! A wonderfully divine Orange Cognac. I love this stuff. You can put it on anything, (I have yet to try it on my Wheaties though), but I was thinking today that I know really nothing about it. So I set out on a mission and this is what I got.
Grand Marnier:
- Began production in 1880
- The distillery is located in Neauphle-le-Chateau, France
- Made with the Citrus Begardia type of Orange
- The Oranges are grown at the Marnier-Lapostolle Plantation in the Caribbean
- It is aged in French oak casks
- It is bottled in Gaillon-Aubevoye, France
- It is distributed to 150 countries
- 100,000 bottles are filled daily
Things that you can add Grand Marnier to:
- Margarita
- Cosmo (or as a replacement anywhere for triple-sec)
- Ice Cream
- Gelato
- Cakes
- Syrups
- Pastries
- Marinades
- Glazes
Enjoy cooking with Grand Marnier, or just drink it neat.
