Grand Ma is excellent and tastes great on a chilly night. You can get it for around $35 at Costco.

Grand Marnier is a mix of liqueur and cognac. Cointreau is a liqueur.

You can find cheaper alternatives like Triple Sec or Orange Curacao.

For me, Cointreau is the best and worth the $.

Now the 150, that's some good drinking. We have a bottle that has about 6oz left. Waiting for a special occasion to cash it in.


Really not that much different than the regular or the 100.

They only put a certain amount of 150 year old in the bottle mix.

Still mighty tasty though.

Other fruit liqueurs to try:

Chambord - raspberry liqueur. On the sweet side and not very strong. This can be poured over ice cream and is often used in desert drinks.

Limoncello - lemon flavored. Strength is closer to Cointreau than Chambord.

Orange flavored cognac. Every major liquor store and grocery store will have it. It is different from contrieu which is not cognac but is a better version of triple sec, a citrus flavored liquer.

Question, is it something your normal liquor store carries? I’ve never seen it but never looked.


It's been around nearly 150 years...so I think you might be able to get your hands on some if you know the right people.

Any suggestions for best brands?


Grand Marnier IS the brand. And it comes in a pretty distinctive bottle with a red ribbon. There is a 99.9% chance you've seen it in your lifetime. It is essentially orange flavored brandy. Often times you find it mixed to make higher end margaritas, sangria, etc. It's not particularly "cheap".

You can drink it on it's own. But if you need an orange liqueur as a mixer I prefer Conintreu. It's not as "syrupy" as GM
