Grand Marnier - Cordon Rouge 50ml Miniature | French Liqueur

In year 1827, a gentleman named Jean-Baptiste Lapostolle founded a distillery in Neauphe-le-Château, France that produced fruit liqueurs. In 1876, his granddaughter married Louis-Alexandre Marnier, the son of a wine-making family from the Sancerre region, culminating in the Marnier Lapostolle family.
The original name and product of ‘Curaçao Marnier’ came about in 1880, but when inventor Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle had his friend César Ritz (gentleman behind such hotels as Hôtel Ritz in Paris and The Ritz Hotel in London) taste his creation, he enjoyed it so much that he suggested the name we now all come to know so well – Grand Marnier.
