Grand Marnier - The Perfect Ingredient

Submitted by UnCladChef on October 8, 2007No Comment

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.
