(Hong Kong, 4 November, 2009) -- France's iconic orange liqueur Grand Marnier® is partnering with M bar at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong launching the iconic range of “Irresistible” cocktails.
These glamorous cocktails have been created by Julien Defrance, Grand Marnier®'s Brand Ambassador in Hong Kong using new recipes that use Grand Marnier®’s latest limited edition 'Irresistible’, which is adorned in ‘playfully indulgent’ vivid red lacquer to celebrate the 2009 festive season. The series of sophisticated cocktails include “Irresistible” - Grand Marnier® Cordon Rouge with strawberry, apple and lemon juice – garnished with gooseberry dipped in red caramel, priced at HK$90 plus 10% service charge.
Throughout November, cocktail drinkers can take home a limited edition cocktail stirrer with purchases of two 'Irresistible’ cocktails at Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong's stylish M Bar.
The liqueur has been revered by sophisticated epicureans for its incomparable smoothness since being invented in 1880 by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle.
A huge international success, Grand Marnier® is served on the most refined tables and in the most fashionable bars in over 150 countries worldwide. It has been the leading French liqueur in export sales for over 25 years, and is the third highest selling liqueur brand worldwide.
The 2009 'Irresistible’ Grand Marnier® limited edition is available in Hong Kong in select high-end bars and specialty outlets, including Watson’s Wine Cellar and Oliver’s.
Though traditionally enjoyed neat or on ice, Grand Marnier®’s unique flavour also takes a wide range of flavourful cocktails and long drinks to new heights.
