If we substitute brandy for bourbon, will it do ?

My sugar dissolved in 7 days... is that normal?

I found this video during the pandemy, (2020) then I got all the ingredients to made my own liqueur "Grand Marnier" but I made a mistake: I disolved the sugar with a spon then I placed the orange just like that and I put the jar in a forgoten place of my cabinet so I literaly forgot about it, I went to Mexico, I was gone for more than 3 years and when I came back I found out that my "Grand Marnier" is a REAL GRAN MARNIER it tastes and smells exactly like the original one and the incredible part is that the orange was intact...not spoiled or moldy at all that was the incredible part for me... cheers

Why not use cognac ???

Is there a difference between using coñac to Brandy?

Brilliance!!!

Do we stir the sugar? or just put it in the jar as is? Can the orange be used in any other way like candy?

An easy and simple recipe. Cannot wait to do the taste test. I followed your steps, except I used Vodka and I fashioned a little cradle from string rather than cheese cloth. In my case I would imagine more of the orange flvour will get through. Does the cheese cloth not absorb some of the "Orange Sweat"? I put it alltogether on 15/04/2022. There is still undissolved sugar. So todays date is 30/05/2022. I imagine that the rest of the sugar will dissolve?

Is it preferable to keep it in a cool or warm place while waiting for the finished product. Mine is in a cool place but not room temperature

How are things on your end?????

Where can I buy that wide mouth jar

Now I can make my own. I’ve already purchased the brandy. Thanks for the simple demo.

Do you think we can do it with a mango?

Thanks for your recipe👍

Sir Drambuie recipe? Plz share

I hope your feeling well. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Thank you and take care of yourself!

I’m so sorry for everything you’ve been through! Prayers being said for your health & happiness! What kind of instant coffee did you use?

I’m definitely going to try this, but I wish someone would just eat the orange! I bet it’s delicious

Great recipe, thank you for sharing, i however used my home brew and not the rum, and it turned out perfect...yum

Great recepie, thanks.

So very sorry to hear about all you’ve been through. Glad you’re still here.

Wowwwwwwww

make more!

Just curious, why did you use vodka instead of white rum (of which Kahlua is based upon)?

If you triple the recipe do you use 3 oranges?

Best diy orange liquor .I have a question ,if I want to make double the quantity of liquer do I have to increase the quantity of orange or increase the time,?

I also like the B52. However the best tasting drink ever was a Beam me up Scotty. That's Banana liqueur, kahluah, and Irish cream.

Dave Hayes Very surprised that the other video's have Not yet been made! I really hope that you are alright and still around and kicking? P.S Your also only a few subs away from revenue from your channel. I hope you will find the time to make parts 2,3, and 4. All the best to you and yours:-)

I'm going to assume we are not going to be getting the recipes/vids for kahlua and irish cream.... too bad... your gm vid is better than others I have seen... was hoping to see your versions of the kahlua, especially...

Tragedy! I ran out of the bottle of this I made :( I found the homemade is WAY smoother, even with cheap brandy, than Gran Marnier. I am doing an experiment with a large bottle where half was aged in charcoal for 2 months to smooth it out. Now both are going into the closet today and I will compare the straight cheap brandy to the one that was aged on charcoal. I suspect the charcoal one will be SUPER smooth (I tried a sip today and it was a huge difference)

Love yr video. Trini in the house🇹🇹

Has anybody try few peels of mandarin with the orange? Also, honey instead sugar?

You're fucked in the head if you think your orange peel brandy is indistguishable from Gran marnier.

Just thinking you have to purchase brandy, sugar and an orange, assuming you have a jar and cheesecloth. By the time you do all that have you actually saved any money?

Thanks a lot, man!! I'm big fan of GM, I´ll try this recipe

Dave you’re a genius. How did you learn this. I had a tasting contest w actual grand marier. Your recipe I swear won.

I always make 3 gallons.

I made a batch, using most of your procedures. The only difference that I did, was to peel the zest off of one orange, put in mixture. It sat for 1 month, I took a sample, added the zest of another orange and placed directly into the mixture again. After two weeks, I strained the mixture and put it in a dark bottle (Grand Mariner). The clone was lighter in color, it had a unique taste, it doesn't hold a candle to the real stuff. Which I have in my liquor cabinet. Yes, I have about 40 different types of alcohol. I will use it for my Irish coffee. I have a very wide taste for alcohol. I have making wine for 7 yrs now. I let it age for no less than 3 yrs. I want to thank you for your recipe. Note: Grand Mariner uses cinnamon also.

When will you be posting another video?

That looks absolutely delicious and I’m going to be making some posthaste (might even try suspending a second orange to make it more, uh orangey!)... However I’ll be, like, SUPER DISAPPOINTED if nobody can tell the difference between my concoction and the store bought version. Why? - In general I like making stuff from scratch because: its interesting, more economical, better for the environment, and the other thing... Gawd, what was it again? Oh yeah! Homemade tastes SO MUCH BETTER than that crap in a packet/bottle/box ever will!..... don’t sell yourself short😉

Hey Dave waiting I'm looking for the 2-4 parts of your 4 part video...

The editing on this 2012 masterpiece is lit.

Where are the other parts of the video? You got me all excited. Greeting from Trinidad🇹🇹

Super dooper chemist.
