Summer is here and so is Grand Marnier Day!
To celebrate this timeless French spirit on its special national day we’re drinking a twist on the classic Margarita using Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, the original liqueur created in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle, the son of a wine and spirit merchant.
Grand Marnier is made from cognac and distilled bitter orange essence and it’s oh so very French—Perfect for Bastille Day also July 14th.
In this twist on the Margarita, the subtle notes of orange in the aged cognac liquor offer an added punch of citrus, heightening your drinking experience and complementing your choice of tequila perfectly.
