(From the archives) 17: This has quite a remarkable flavor! The richness of the orange really comes through in a way that it doesn't in Cointreau, helping to balance the sweetness. There are some mild spice flavors in it too that are very interesting. It lands somewhere in between Cointreau and Grand Marnier, so a 50/50 mix of them would probabaly be a good substitute. Grand Marnier is definitely richer with more of a wood presence and more of something bitter from the distillate. Grand Marnier is better at first sip, but its fruit isn't as delightful and its balance doesn't hold up as well. I think they're fairly comparable in quality though. I would really like to try a somewhat richer and substantially less sweet version of this curacao.
