Watch PART 2 of Orange Liqueur Comparison: MAI TAI COMPARISON!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLCUrJShzMDGqKs.html

Margarita and it’s a blizzard outside. I like this guy.

Great video, Rob! I’m loving these comparisons. I tend to grab the Peirre Ferrand Dry Curaçao most often, but I love them all. I also prefer salt on only half the glass 👍

That was great Rob. It's really great showing how your palate can react differently to certain spirit based on how it is used. I'm also glad to see you prefer a 2-1-1 ratio too.

I really like watching comparisons. You can always learn a lot!

Thank you. I certainly like the idea of having 4 margaritas!

Great comparison. Good info for deciding what liqueurs to get.

Great video! This series is really opening my eyes to new brands and liquors. Appreciate it!

Big Thumbs up on the one with Grand Marnier . very tasty

Great video ! Watched n will watch one more tym.. so much to learn..🙂

I know we had already talked about this prior to this video but I was still shocked by the results of that Triple Sec! I love these videos they are very enjoyable for people who don't know what liqueurs are best.

Thank you 🎉!!!

For a crisp drink, go for blanco tequila, Cointreau, and simple syrup as needed. For a smooth drink, anejo, Grand Marnier, and agave. Choose the style based on the food. Bright with tomatillo and smooth with tomatoes.

Rob, tremendous job on this. I have not had the pleasure to A/B a lot of these, so it's great to kind of do this vicariously through someone else for now! :)

Great video, I'm going to expand my horizons based on this.

Great video Rob. I'm going to try it out and see what results I get. Cheers/Salud.

Love a good margarita looks delicious 😋

Good point. Riposade has a rounder taste and doesn't require as much sweeteners. Ideally, the liquours should provide the sweeteners.

Great vid, Rob. I will watch the whole thing later when I can pay attention & leave another comment. Man, congrats on your sub count shooting up!

That’s why you should use agave syrup. The Pierre Ferrand with the agave added is really good!😊

Great comparison! I've always been a Cointreau fan but I'll have to try the others for myself.

I use 43 for the orange essence, and maybe some orange bitters. Sometimes I'll go with some other bitters I have: Japanese chili and lime, margarita bitters, smoked chili. They're all great! Have you had Ghost Tequila? Very smooth blanco infused with ghost peppers. Sip on its own, and makes a great Margarita! Cheers from Indiana!

It was great to see you use a tequila that I had just bought try

Patron Citronge became my go to trip sec over the years, but I prefer a silver tequila. I also like to add a pinch of salt in the shaker, and of course only fresh lime juice. Great lineup and comparisons.

For me, an easy #1 would be adding 3/4 to 1 oz of Agave nectar to the Cointreau mix. I also want a lime wedge to squeeze into it, so I guess I prefer 1.5 oz of lime juice instead, but I usually splash a little more Tequila also.

Yesssssss! Grand Marnier by a nose! I love that stuff. If I don't know how to make a margarita by now, I need to sit my behind down!!!!

Thanks for this . my have some Rita's later today

I use Patron citronge, works great.

Break it all down for us Rob! I really like the segment. Super cool to hear all the differences and your perspective of booze. Surprised with the triple Sec rating low on tasting and then working so well in the Margarita

thank you for sharing

I could down all 4 of those rn they look so good! Awesome video love the comparison! Cheers 🥂

Drinking one as I watching this video! Plus its Friday! Happy Friday for everyone and God bless 🇺🇦

Dude you must be a fun and great host !

Great comparison Rob! Now I feel like doing a Margarita/Orange Liqueur tasting myself haha!

I tried 2 oz Patron, 1/2 oz. Curaçao, 1oz lime and 1/4 oz. agave syrup. It tasted damn near perfect to me. The ratios were inspired by the “original” Mai Tai recipe.

Hello Rob, thanks for the break down of these liquors. I like Patron Citronge Orange with my margaritas at home. Only because I use Patron tequila as well. Cheers and thanks for sharing.

Great video, Rob! I was gong to do the same orange liqueur comparison for my Baritone Bartender channel, then found yours! I'm now reconsidering my addition of agave...hmmm. I guess I like it slightly sweeter. Anyhow, I subscribed and I'm looking forward to your next video! Cheers! Rod

Patron Citronage! In the fun summer of creating our own margarita my search for the perfect orange liquor ended when it was suggested by a friend of mine from Mexico. However, I have not tried the Pierre Fernand. I will give it a go!

Great video

I couldn't afford Cointreau or Marnier at the time so, I got Gran Gala the Italian version made with Brandy. It made a good Margarita 😊🍸 and taste good by itself.

love both triple sec and curacao

Awesome

Great video. Agree that reposado is better than blanco for margaritas. Personal preference, I guess, as most places use blanco instead. I actually dislike the brandy/cognac based liqueurs because they do not jive with the citrus notes of a margarita. Again, personal preference. I suppose that will save me money too. Thanks for posting!

WOW, an American that actually says Liqueurs and NOT liquors. There is a difference. Even in the USA liquor is a strong spirit, whereas a liqueur is a sweet, low alcoholic drink. So many cocktail mixers use liquor EVERY time. by the way, I LOVE your how you make series. Brilliant!

I've made my own type of orange liquor. Orange zest in vodka. Tasty

Wow!!! Great video!! Now who drank all of those drinks when you were done filming???🤔😄

Nice..stay connected

I think it depends on the drink and nice to have a choice. I found the Pierre Ferrand the best choice for Mai Tai's, Cointreau for different drinks or regular sidecars, and triple sec when it doesn't matter. Patron even makes an orange curacao called Citronage that works good in margaritas and I used in a few videos.

Hello! in Greece, if you ask for a margarita with grand Marnier, it's called a Cadillac Margarita. although 85 per cent of bars, use Marrie Brizzard triple sec. :P

I prefer silver tequilas for margaritas. The camel coloring added to the dark tequilas for the purposes of adding color, adds a mildly bitter taste, which I feel is an unnecessary additional flavor. I feel the darker tequilas are best for sipping or shots. I also always add agave for sweetness. Since both tequila and agave sweeteners are made from agave, they pair much better than sugar based sweeteners. Of course, what tastes better is completely subjective and can obviously differ from person to person. When we lived in Houston, we absolutely loved DeKuyper O3 Premium Orange Liqueur. Unfortunately, I haven’t been to find it in the Los Angeles area. Loved your video!!!

I really like the Pierre Ferrand Curacao. However it is a dryer orange liqueur and that reduces the sweetness. Then its Grand Marnier for me.

Cointreau is my favourite as I also love Blue Moon cocktails. So it kills both cocktails with one ingredient .

I bet if you blind tasted...your results would have changed as well. To be fair....the Grand Marnier is actually adding Cognac along with the orange liquer...which itself is another ingredient modifier. PF is infact closer to Cointreau than Grand. Your pallet probably needs that 4th and maybe 5th ingredient (more sugar) to be considered "good". Each person will be slightly different.

Try my favorite version some time? 2oz Hornitos Plata 1oz Cointreau 1oz lime juice 1/2oz creme de violette With Violette in you cabinet, you can add an interesting twist to many classics. And I love an Aviation and Water Lily.

Interesting and great video, I personally enjoy using Cointreau. But at 4:12 you said you need sweetener when using a cheap tequila but that's exactly what Hornitos is no?

How to make a margarita cocktail step by step?

Excellent work But do take a look at How To Drinks Margarita matrix, he really shows how each of the orange liquors reacts very differently with different tequilas

One thing I've learned is that which orange liqueur works best depends on which tequila it's mixed with. It makes a big difference. I don't know Hornitos well but I don't believe it's additive free and I always start there.

Great comparison and review; Really enjoyed the video. Do you wear socks? What happened? Cheers Rob!

Funny, Pierre Ferrand is my fav orange liquer, but I always use cointreau in a marg, it just mixes with tequila better for me

You really need testers! i volunteer!

I’ve always wanted to know - do you use a Go Pro for your camera view? When you take the tastings, that’s what made me think of it.

Not including Controy? I've had a LOT of margaritas in Baja. They were all made either with a cheap mix, or with Controy.

I vote for Grand Marnier. A very richly flavored mixture.

How about best of both worlds? Cadillac Margarita!! use the Cointreau and after mixing your cocktail, add that shot of Grand Marnier. THE BEST!

With all that snow, I'll be drinking all four of them regardless.LOL

A more accurate tasting would be to use a clean jigger when testing the orange liqueurs.

YES.... Shakey Shakey!!!!!!!! BOOOOOM

Grand Marnier is my favorite too. That's a good tequila too.. I like reposado, soda, lime 😋 Y'all impress me with your shake, I have to use a cheater on camera so I don't spill, drop, or struggle to open. 😆 I suck it up and don't use it any other time. I really like this video and I watched it all.

Just missed 1. Would have been fun to include blue curacao. Does blue make a difference? Love the Grand Marnier in most anything!

Total Wine has a great orange cognac liquor for only 26.

Grand Gala is a cheaper version of Grand Manier

I usually go white spirit with white liqueur and dark spirit with dark liquor. For sure, Grand Marnier is a winner and triple sec, not my game.

Nice vid, GM is great...but giving two spots to the orange liquors that added the most sugar seems questionable. Sugar deficit should be made up with something like Agave syrup, not liquor.

I wonder how sweet your limes were. That might change your results of which tastes best after mixing.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

How does gran gala compare to what you have here?

#1 again 😎

I don't think they sell #2 (triple sec) in my area. I've never seen it.

Hard to relate when the majority of us stick with the common recipe that has simple syrup

how about 1/2 grand marnier and 1/2 triple sec?

Grand m. Makes everything better

Cointreau >>>

Grand Marnier gets poo poo’ed by so many cocktail nerds but part of the reason it got so popular is because ITS DELICIOUS

Good review, there is no need to spend 40 dollars on a bottle of orange liqueur to make a margarita taste good just buy the cheap triple sec and if you want to make it more orangy squeeze an orange

No sweetener in margaritas, here here!

Have you ever tried GranGala?

Now that you've picked your choice of GM, try it with a better tequila!

Not shown: aftermath of drinking 8 shots of tequila in an hour

can i borow sixdy bucks.

Great video. Gives people 4 ideas for their margarita. I personally love the grand marnier one. My personal perfect margarita is: * 2 ounce Casamigos Reposado Tequila * 1 ounce Grand Marnier * 1 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice * 1/4 ounce or 1/2 ounce Blue Agave Syrup

Orange liquor ruins the drink, use some orange juice instead

This just shows everyone has different taste buds and feelings on tequila flavor... rating a margarita with triple sec above one with Cointreau? never heard that one before 😒😬

This video is flawed. No Combier, which is the original.

Triple sec = "sure" if nothing else available Cointreau = all around 5/5 essential liqueur in ANYone's home(bar). This is the shit. Grand Marnier = for big dick players. More expensive and "rarer" in cocktail use, but totes worth it. Dry Curacao = AFAIK the rarest of the bunch. Rarely to be seen in bars.

Appreciate the effort but questionable ratings and qualifications of tastes. The fact that not one name is properly spoken adds insult to the mix.

Grand Marnier is vile imo.
