Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge Liqueur

About Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge Liqueur

Meet Grand Marnier signature expression, created in 1880 by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle himself. Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge Liqueur combines the character of cognac with intense flavors of bitter orange. A refined liqueur, it's bottled at 80 proof and its brilliant amber color is only a prelude to aromas of vanilla cognac and candied zest that develop into flavors of bitter orange, cognac notes, hazelnuts, and toffee. The finish of this iconic liqueur is long and harmonious. Best enjoyed on the rocks and in Grand Cocktails.

An iconic French brand of premium liqueur, Grand Marnier boasts a rich history, dating back to 1827 when the first distillery was built by Jean Baptiste Lapostolle in the little town of Neauphle-le-Château. In 1876, Lapostolle's granddaughter Jean married Louis-Alexandre Marnier and four years later, the famous orange-flavored Cordon Rouge – still synonymous with the brand until this day – was released. Marnier was a pioneer and innovator, disrupting the scene by blending fine cognac with rare, bitter orange liqueur. The story goes that the name “Grand Marnier” was actually César Ritz’ idea. To return the favor, Marnier-Lapostolle helped him purchase the Hotel Ritz Paris where Grand Marnier was served during the years of La Belle Epoque. In 2016, the Campari Group took over Grand Marnier.
