03History
Grand Marnier has printed the 'Grand' margarita since the 1980s — the cognac-based liqueur deepening what triple sec leaves thin. IBA canonised it as its own entry.
Salt the rim only half — the drink needs the choice.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
