Lecarre Brandy & Orange Liqueur
40% ABV (80 proof) | 700mL | French brandy liqueur — Lecarre Brandy & Orange Liqueur comes from a family-run French distiller in Saint-Palais-de-Négrignac now in its 7th generation, with distillation expertise dating to 1830. Dried bitter orange peel is macerated in brandy eau-de-vie, then the cellar master blends that bitter-orange liqueur with fine brandy, natural blood-orange flavors, and sugar — a classic Grand Marnier/Curaçao-adjacent profile at a friendlier price. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Dark fruit and vanilla notes of fine brandy, balanced by the sweet, tangy, highly aromatic flavor of bitter and sweet orange peels, with a warm, sophisticated finish. It slots straight into Sidecars, Margaritas, and Corpse Reviver No. 2 — anywhere an orange liqueur earns its keep. Among French orange liqueurs, the 7th-generation cognac-adjacent pedigree shows in the brandy base.
