Grand Marnier 750ml

This is the only orange liqueur I've tried that actually tastes like real vanilla bean rather than cheap syrup. The cognac base makes it smooth enough to sip neat, which my sidecar never managed.

The vanilla and orange notes blend so smoothly, it’s perfect for both sipping neat and mixing in a cocktail. I’ve been adding a splash to my old fashioneds and it elevates them completely. This bottle won’t last long at my house.

I picked up a bottle for the holidays and it’s just as smooth as I hoped—the blend of cognac and orange is perfectly balanced. Made a sidecar with it last night, and the vanilla bean finish really came through. Definitely worth the extra cost for sipping neat.
