  Grand Orange-Cognac Liqueur

Ingredients:
1/3 cup Orange zest*
1/2 cup Granulated sugar
2 cup Cognac or French brandy
1/2 tsp Glycerin
Instructions:
Grand Marnier is a classic orange liqueur to be savored. While
ordinary brandy can be used, we recommend a good cognac or French
brandy for best flavor. Ready in 5 to 6 months. Makes about 1 pint.

Place zest and sugar in a small bowl. Mash and mix together with the
back of a wooden spoon or a pestle. Continue mashing until sugar is
absorbed into the orange zest and is no longer distinct. Place into
aging container. Add cognac. Stir, cap and let age in a cool dark
place 2 to 3 months, shaking monthly.

After initial aging, pour through fine mesh strainer placed over
medium bowl. Rinse out aging container. Pour glycerin into aging
container and place cloth bag inside strainer. Pour liqueur through
cloth bag. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Cap and age 3 more
months before serving.

*Note: Authentic Grand Marnier uses bitter Haitian oranges to produce
its classic taste. You may use any type of orange peel you wish;
however, a bitter type, such as Seville, is preferred for
authenticity.

From "The Art of Making and Cooking with Liqueurs" Cheryl Long and
Heather Kibbey.
