1
Make the Simple Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat.
2
Add Orange Zest
Once the simple syrup is made, add the orange zest to the saucepan while the syrup is still warm. Let it steep for about 30 minutes to infuse the orange flavor.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a large jar or container, combine the infused simple syrup, neutral spirit, and brandy. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
4
Add Flavorings
Add the vanilla bean (split open) and the cinnamon stick into the jar. Squeeze the juice from the fresh oranges into the mixture and then add the orange halves as well.
5
Seal and Store
Seal the jar tightly and store in a cool, dark place. Let the mixture infuse for at least 4 weeks, shaking occasionally.

6
Strain the Mixture
After 4 weeks, strain the Grand Marnier through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solids. Discard the solids.
7
Bottle and Enjoy
Transfer the strained liquid into a clean bottle. Your homemade Grand Marnier is now ready to enjoy! Serve it chilled or use it as an ingredient in cocktails and desserts.
