ok, kind of a dumb question....but what is this stuff. I have a couple recipes that call for it and i'm not sure what it is. i've looked around the grocery store, but not sure what i'm looking for.

thanks,

It is a liquer sold in the liquer stores!!! Tastes like orange I believe!! I have a recipe to make it homemade!!!

grand M is liquor.Its used in Margarita's and other drinks and cakes too
I want to say it's orange flavored

Yes, it's very definately orange liqueur. There is also Cointreau and Triple Sec, but Grand Marnier is sweeter than the others.

THANK YOU!!! I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what the heck this stuff was!!! Not much of a drinker...so would never have figured it out!!!

It's darn good stuff. Light orange flavor.

The only one i've tired is triple sec and i love it
Do you guys prefer one over the others???

I spend a lot of money buying liqueurs to use in my recipes. It`ll be great, if you can!
Thank you in advance!

Just a note, if you don't think you'll use it much, I wouldn't buy GM. It's much more money than some of the others mentioned. Ofcourse, if you use something different the end result will taste slightly different but I'm sure if you use something similar it will still be good.
