Learning Grand Mariner cocktails is an essential trade for every alcohol enthusiast. Grand Mariner is a French brand of liquor that is slightly orange flavoured. The addition of this to cocktails takes already great drinks to the brink of perfection. Grand Mariner cocktails are generally super icy so enjoy them while the temperature outside is still pretty hot. Most of these cocktails are easy to make and require just a handful of ingredients. Gather your cocktail shaker and all the ice in the house, we have some easy Grand Mariner cocktails to make.


Cadillac Margarita

This is the most popular grand Mariner cocktail. It is much like a classic margarita, but it replaces the simple syrup for the liquor. To prepare this, you’ll need two ounces of tequila, one ounce of Grand Marnier and one ounce of lime juice. Shake all ingredients together with ice. Strain and pour over fresh ice. You could also add the grand Mariner at the end.


Blood Orange Cocktail

In most cocktails, Grand Mariner takes the sideshow but in this one, it shines as the main player. Also, this is a beautiful drink to look at. Gather the following ingredients: two ounces of Grand Marnier, an ounce of lemon juice, an ounce of orange juice, 1/4 ounce of honey, and soda water according to taste. In a cocktail shaker, add all ingredients except the soda water and shake. Strain and pour in a tall glass. Top the entire thing with soda and garnish with some fun umbrellas and cherries.


Sidecar

While a traditional Sidecar calls for triple sec, this version has a twist via the pleasing orangey Grand Mariner. This classic drink is definitely awe-striking. To make this, you’ll need to gather two ounces of cognac, 3/4 ounce of Grand Marnier, an ounce of lemon juice. In a cocktail shaker, add all the ingredients. Shake, statin, and serve. Preferably garnish with a lemon twist.
