Prices[edit]

This article mentions the prices of a number of Grand Marnier products, and while the dollar symbol is used, it is not mentioned which country's dollars this refers to. I would guess there are United States Dollars, but I'm hoping that someone who's more aware of the price of liqueurs can confirm that. --PJF ^(talk) 11:38, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Information[edit]

I would like to make a recipe but do not want to buy a bottle of this. Do you have any suggestions on what I could use in place of it. Thanks JED1

--Well you can use some other triple sec, but you won't have the same developped aromas, color and smoothness. So even if you use more of another liqueur, you won't have the same result. I advise you to buy a small bottle of GM to start with! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.1.64 (talk) 13:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cointreau would probably be closest, as it is also an 80 proof premium triple sec, but if you had some laying around you'd probably already know that it could substitute for GM.AudhumlaX (talk) 11:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cointreau isn't cognac based and doesn't have the same flavors. So it needs another recipe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.227.186.201 (talk) 21:19, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Centennial[edit]

The author says the Cuvée du Centenaire was released on "the 100th anniversary." Of what? The article says Grand Marnier was first made in 1880, so that would be the usually uncelebrated 57th anniversary. Josephlestrange (talk) 16:56, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:GrandMarnier.jpg[edit]

Image:GrandMarnier.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Yellow ribbon[edit]

Having Cordon Jaune does not allows one to blend anything similar to Cordon Rouge as Cordon Rouge does not contain any neutral grain spirit, it contains Cognac, essential oils of bitter oranges and sugar, furthermore the amount of essential oil of bitter orange would be too small if diluted further in Cognac. The burden of proof is also in the person claiming that one can make their own grand marnier blend with yellow ribbon, so I have removed that part since there is no proof. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LinkedOddie (talk • contribs) 11:52, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
