Grand Marnier uses only bitter orange peels but this is blended with cognac and sugar and then aged. Many of these triple-secs have their inevitable secret ingredients.The literature says that for curacao triple sec the orange peels should be infused in high strength alcohol and then redistilled in a pot still I would imagine. It is then blended with water, neutral spirit or cognac. Grand Marnier is further aged in oak. --------- smithsan Alcohol Rehab

Does this ever bring back memories. I went to the Netherlands one summer and the kids and I almost OD'ed on advocot ice cream. To bad someone doesn't make it here. Probably good though because I'd weigh 400 lbs if they did. Thanks for the recipe.
