Grand Marnier Cocktail Recipe for the Summer
Have you ever sat down and looked over the past few weeks of summer?
Kids are out of school, vacations have been planned, you’ve driven your little ones to camp, and you still haven’t had time for yourself. I’ve been feeling like this a lot lately and I needed something to help me unwind.
I know, I know—I should find another way to unwind beside having a drink, but I very rarely have one and all I’ve been drinking lately is water. It was about time for me to have a grownup drink and relax at the end of a long day.

Lovely Grand Marnier
The iconic French liqueur has been enchanting taste buds for nearly two centuries, blending the essence of fine cognac with a twist of citrusy orange. Its rich, complex flavor profile combines the warm, caramel notes of cognac with the bright, zesty allure of oranges. The result is a liqueur that’s not only versatile but also perfect for crafting exceptional cocktails.
