I have one bottle. It is open. I know it sells for about $50.
In a typical dish that requires cognac or brandy, it would be a bit sweet.
Any suggestions?

Pour over ice cream, use in crepes suzette? Drink it after dinner? I
used to have a recipe for orange pineapple marmalade that called for
maybe a T of Grand Mariner, so why not make some marmalade and add
some of your stuff to it? Find Grand Marnier recipes and substitute.

Oh, I forgot.... you could use it as a floater on a margarita too.

I only had a small taste a long time ago, but I would think you could
use it in just about any dish that normally uses Grand Marnier, and
you're right, it would probably be a dessert, especially a chocolate
dessert.

Add a teaspoon to the batter for french toast.

A Margarita-like cocktail.

The best thing would probably be a variation on Crepes Suzettes. heat up
some butter, toss in some brown sugar and when it is melted toss in some
crepes folded into quarters, pour in some of the liqueur and flambe.

It would probably go well with a duck dish that can be fllambeed, or even
chicken.

Or ad a few tsp. to the custard for flan or creme brulee.

Wash strawberries. Remove stems, cut them in halve and throw them in a bowl.

Mix freshly pressed orange juice, powdered sugar and your Liqueur to taste.
(Cointreau is usually used)
Pour over strawberries (the sbs should be covered in the marinade).
Cover bowl and let it rest in the fridge for at least two hours.
Serve with whipped cream.

Cheers,

In the northern hemisphere cooler weather is coming. A burning fire,
a comfortable armchair, a good book, and a proper snifter. Pour
yourself a good portion and give yourself an hour to enjoy it.
Assuming it's the good stuff, it's a waste to be using it like orange
extract. -aem
