Grand Marnier
Grand Marnier is a French brand of liqueurs. The brand's best-known product is Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, an orange-flavored liqueur created in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle. It is made from a blend of Cognac brandy, distilled essence of bitter orange, and sugar. Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is 40% alcohol (70 proof in UK, 80 proof in US).
History
The Grand Marnier liqueur was created in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle, the son of a wine-making family from the Sancerre region. The family moved to the Cognac region and set up a distillery where they produced a wide range of liqueurs. The name "Grand Marnier" is a tribute to the grandeur of the Marnier-Lapostolle family's Cognac.
Production
Grand Marnier is made from a blend of Cognac brandy, distilled essence of bitter orange, and sugar. The Cognac used in the blend is sourced from the best growing areas in the Cognac region. The bitter oranges are harvested from plantations in the Caribbean. The oranges are picked while they are still green and unripe, ensuring that they retain their bitter character. The peels are then sun-dried and distilled in copper stills to produce a clear, aromatic essence.
Varieties
There are several varieties of Grand Marnier available, each with its own unique flavor profile. These include:
- Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge: The original Grand Marnier liqueur, made from a blend of Cognac, bitter orange essence, and sugar.
- Grand Marnier Cordon Jaune: A similar liqueur to the Cordon Rouge, but made with neutral grain spirit instead of Cognac.
- Grand Marnier Cuvee du Centenaire: A special edition of Grand Marnier, first released in 1927 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Marnier-Lapostolle family's arrival in the Cognac region.
- Grand Marnier Cuvee Speciale Cent Cinquantenaire: A super-premium version of Grand Marnier, made with 50-year-old Cognacs and presented in a distinctive decanter.
Uses
Grand Marnier is often consumed neat as a digestif, or used in cocktails and desserts. It is a key ingredient in the classic Crêpe Suzette and Duck à l'Orange recipes. It is also used in the popular cocktail, the Margarita.
