Grand Café Latte
Bartender's tip
If you have a coffee machine with a steam nozzle, use it to heat the milk and spoon the foam delicately atop the coffee. For thick, unctuous foam, use whole milk rather than skimmed.
Grand Marnier® takes this unctuous coffee to new heights with its subtly oaked, vanilla notes of cognac and orange flavour.
