Grandeza Orange Liqueur
Grandeza Orange Liqueur is a 40% ABV (80 proof) all-natural orange liqueur — made in Washington, USA, with bitter orange peels, fresh citrus flavor, a hint of rich vanilla, and organic agave nectar for sweetness. Created by Mexican restaurant owner Bernie Garcia, it is blended with neutral grain spirit (not brandy or cognac) precisely so it never masks the tequila in a Cadillac Margarita. It comes in a 750mL bottle. Order orange liqueur online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Built for the Cadillac Margarita
Most orange liqueurs are built on brandy or cognac; Grandeza deliberately isn't. Garcia wanted a top-shelf orange liqueur that would float over — not fight — a great tequila, so the base is neutral grain spirit carrying bitter orange peels, fresh citrus, vanilla, and organic agave nectar. A Double Gold winner at the 2019 SIP Awards, it drinks like an orange creamsicle with a bitter-orange edge — hyper-orange and vanilla on the nose, juicy citrus and brown sugar on the palate. The signature mini "sidecar" bottle clips onto the glass rim for proper Cadillac service. Browse more Grandeza or stock the bar from the liqueurs collection.
Tasting Notes
Citrus and caramel on the aroma; orange, agave, and vanilla on the taste; a natural bitter-orange finish. Reviewers note a syrupy, dessert-like character — a little goes a long way in a margarita.
How to Enjoy
The classic move is the Cadillac Margarita: a quality blanco or reposado on the rocks with lime, floated with Grandeza from the clip-on sidecar bottle. It also upgrades cosmopolitans and any cocktail calling for orange liqueur.
