| Description |
The history of Cordon Rouge is inextricably linked to that of Grand Marnier. One day, Louis-Alexandre was inspired to create a superior liqueur with Cognac – the most prized of spirits and the pride of southwestern France since the seventeenth century. He decided to combine it with an aromatic orange essence. It took him more than a decade to create, improve and perfect the liqueur that the world would one day know as Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge. It was 1880: the year of the birth of a legend.
Grand Marnier can be enjoyed neat, with or without ice, or it can be added to one of the ingredients for making cocktails.
It is also used in pastry making to flavor mousse, cakes, tiramisu or to add flavor to coffee.
