Grand Marnier
This premium orange liqueur blends Cognac with bitter orange essence, offering a sweet and fruity profile with vibrant citrus notes and a warm, oaky complexity. With an ABV of 40%, it's often used in cocktails like the Margarita or the Grand Margarita, and can also elevate a classic Sidecar or a Chocolate Martini.
