Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge Liqueur

Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is the original, world-renowned expression that defined the modern orange liqueur category. Created in 1880 by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle, this iconic spirit blends fine French Cognac with distilled bitter orange essence — a bold combination that took over a decade to perfect and has remained unchanged for more than a century.

This historic recipe delivers remarkable depth and elegance. The Cognac foundation brings warmth, richness, and complexity, while the orange essence adds brilliance, aromatics, and a signature bittersweet character. The result is a liqueur that feels luxurious, layered, and endlessly versatile — equally at home in classic cocktails, culinary creations, or served neat as a digestif.

Cordon Rouge isn’t just a liqueur; it’s a timeless French masterpiece that continues to elevate cocktails and craft unforgettable flavor experiences for drinkers around the world.

The Story

Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle dared to combine the finest French Cognac with vibrant orange essence at a time when most fruit liqueurs were simplistic and one-dimensional. His creation, Cordon Rouge, became an immediate sensation in the late 19th century — earning a place in royal courts, luxury hotels, and the world’s greatest cocktail bars.

More than a century later, the formula remains unchanged, a testament to the quality and vision that shaped the Grand Marnier legacy. Cordon Rouge continues to set the standard for refined citrus liqueurs, offering a balance of richness, brightness, and sophistication found nowhere else.
