What does it taste like? I hear of so many chefs using it on their cakes that I would love to try.
Is it sweet, nutty?
I want to make a soaking syrup with it. I usually use Amaretto and Brandy, but would like to try something different.
Anyone?
It is orange and sweet. It makes great syrup for cakes, provided you like alcohol
Thank you for the reply. Is it high in alcohol? I don't mind it. I like a subtle taste of it, not too heavy. So I guess I can control the amounts to make sure its not too overpowering.
I had found a recipe for orange whipped ganache and wanted to try it. I went to the liquor store to get some ( I had never bought any before) and the only size bottle they had was $46! I only needed a couple of Tbls. For now I'll have to stick w/orange extract. ![]()
To me Grand Marnier is strong if you drink it straight but very good in Cointreau Buttercream icing.
I bought the Orange Patron (not the tequila) and it is a nice substitute with a much cheaper price. But you will not beat the flavor of Grand Marnier.
Grand Marnier is an orange-flavored Cognac.
Wow! Thanks for all the input everyone! The Walmart wneighborhood supermarket has a liquor store next to it, so I will go and check if they have it. Usually, when I don't want to buy the big bottle of Amaretto, I get the smaller ones. I am sure that they have also Grand Marnier in smaller bottles as well.
Can't wait to try it! ![]()
Marialovescakes, I live in Florida too and bought the airplane size bottle at the Walgreens Liquor store. I'm sure you'll find it there.
